Municipal Polls Are Semi-Finals for Telangana: Bandi Sanjay
Alleging that substantial central assistance to Warangal had not resulted in visible development, Sanjay accused the previous BRS government and the present Congress government of failing to utilise central funds effectively.
Hanamkonda: Union minister of state for home affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Monday expressed confidence that the BJP would win the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) in the forthcoming civic elections and secure the mayoral post.
Addressing a meeting of BJP’s booth-level presidents and senior leaders at the Arts and Science College grounds in Warangal, Sanjay described the upcoming municipal elections in Hyderabad, Warangal, Khammam and Siddipet as the "semi-finals" ahead of the party's goal of forming the government in Telangana.
He urged party workers to take the Congress government's unfulfilled election promises to the people and hold its leaders accountable.
Alleging that substantial central assistance to Warangal had not resulted in visible development, Sanjay accused the previous BRS government and the present Congress government of failing to utilise central funds effectively.
He claimed that flagship initiatives, including Smart City projects, had fallen short of expectations, citing recurring water-logging and civic issues during moderate rainfall.
Promising improved urban infrastructure under BJP leadership, Sanjay said the party would transform Warangal if it is elected to power in the municipal corporation. Referring to Karimnagar, he claimed the BJP had demonstrated its ability to deliver effective urban governance.
He called on party workers to strengthen grassroots outreach by visiting every household and creating awareness about welfare schemes and development programmes implemented by the Modi government.
The Union minister also highlighted central projects sanctioned for the region, including the proposed Mamnoor Airport, Kazipet railway manufacturing unit, textile park, and projects under the Smart City Mission and AMRUT scheme.
Claiming that the political atmosphere in Telangana was increasingly favourable to the BJP, Sanjay said the party expected to improve its performance significantly in the Greater Warangal municipal elections and was confident of winning the mayoral post.
He urged the party cadre to remain focused on public issues and local concerns, assuring them of full support from the party leadership.
