Telangana BJP Leaders Ask Party Workers to Expose State Government Failures

Hyderabad: Telangana BJP president N. Ramchander Rao urged every “responsible citizen” to act as a ‘media house’ by using smartphones and social media to spread accurate information. He said social media must be used creatively and positively.

Speaking at the party’s social media and IT workshop, Rao accused the state government of diverting Central funds for corruption, leaving bills unpaid, and failing to complete the Rythu Bharosa payments.

He urged party representatives campaigning for the local body elections to clearly communicate the Modi government’s rural development achievements by using concrete examples to gain public trust.

He criticised the Congress government for delaying local body elections for 19 months and accused the ruling party of artificially creating a urea shortage to malign the Modi administration.

Malkajgiri BJP MP Etela Rajender urged party workers to develop rapid response skills and creativity to become effective social media users. He warned that social media must be used against political opponents and not to create internal divisions.

Party national spokesperson Prem Shukla shared insights into the use of social media, drawn from his experience in other states. Shukla urged leaders and karyakartas to use both traditional and digital platforms effectively.

He stressed building strong ties with YouTube channels, influencers, and journalists to publicise the Modi government’s welfare schemes and development initiatives in Telangana.

He asked workers to stay updated on local issues, the failures of the state government, and the importance of Central schemes, while also keeping a close watch on newspapers, TV debates, and social media trends. Shukla highlighted the need to engage with community influencers such as teachers, doctors, women’s groups, and intellectuals, and to participate actively on their social media platforms.

He cautioned workers against airing personal views during official press meets, urging them instead to present the party’s position in simple, clear terms. All party activities, he stressed, must be amplified on social media and messaging platforms, with spokespersons’ content converted into public talking points. He pressed leaders to prepare thoroughly for TV debates by studying topics and rival participants in advance.

“Winning local bodies,” he said, “will pave the way for triumph in Assembly and Parliament elections.”

Senior leader P.L. Srinivas, state spokesperson N.V. Subash, and state general secretary Dr. Kasam Venkateshwarlu were present.
