Former minister and AP state BJP president Kanna Lakshminarayana, addressing the core committee meeting, asserted on the need for strengthening the party from booth level. He said the TD after cutting off from the BJP had conducted a negative campaign agai-nst the BJP for the past three months. He asked the BJP leaders to retaliate and counter the TD campaign by conducting protests and agitations highlighting the failures and corruption of TD. He also asked the leaders to take the BJP government’s welfare schemes amongst the masses as this would help to popularise the BJP.

Chandrababu Naidu continued with the highest VAT and continued to blame the BJP government. He stated that the BJP will conduct multiple protests and agitations in 13 districts of AP to highlight the failures of the TD government and expose TD’s corruption.
