BJP sign-campaign targets Asaduddin Owaisi
Hyderabad: BJP national president Amit Shah’s “Mission-2019” power tips to TS BJP will be set in motion from September 17, when the party will celebrate “Hyderabad Liberation Day”.
The TS BJP has also decided to launch a signature campaign from Thursday against MIM president Asaduddin Owaisi’s decision to provide legal aid to the youths arrested by the NIA on charges of sympathising with the dreaded terror group ISIS.
In an informal chat there, TS BJP president K. Laxman said that the party, which has set the target of winning the 2019 elections in TS, will begin the mission with its “Hyderabad Liberation Day” celebrations.
The party appointed senior leader Indrasena Reddy to oversee the arrangements for the celebrations 20 days in advance. “Amit Shah will grace the Hyderabad Liberation Day celebrations in Hyderabad on September 17 while Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the state in October,” he said.
Explaining the steps the party would take in the state with an eye on the 2019 elections, Dr Laxman accused the TRS government of implementing the MIM’s agenda.
“It’s wrong on the part of Owaisi to support terrorists and promise them legal aid. We will launch a signature campaign against him from tomorrow,” he said.
Dr Laxman said that mass defections have brought disrepute to TS and there was an urgent need to amend the law to ensure defectors are immediately disqualified.
“Congress has failed and the TD is considerably weakened. BJP has a bright future in the state and people have accepted Modi’s programmes and policies,” he claimed. Dr Laxman also indicated strengthening of party from grassroots level and conduct of organisations elections in all districts to take forward the party’s “Mission-2019”.
“We will have booth committee meetings soon and come out with a roadmap to 2019,” he said. Earlier, BJP general secretary P. Muralidhar had made it clear that the party, an ally of the TD, will go it alone in 2019 elections.
