The BJP’s election manifesto is anticipated to be launched throughout the go to of Union Residence Minister Amit Shah to Hyderabad in the direction of the weekend, however members of the manifesto committee themselves are clueless about it.
Up to now few days, it was mentioned that the ‘people’s manifesto’ is prepared after having held discussions with varied stakeholders. Nonetheless, occasion sources knowledgeable that the committee haven’t met after its chairman and former MP Vivek Venkatswamy stop the occasion.
“The manifesto committee met only once where the details of the last election manifesto was shared among the members. But, after that there has been no full-fledged meeting to discuss the contents. There has been no meeting after Mr.Venkataswamy resigned and joined the Congress,” a supply claimed.
However, senior leaders affirm that the draft has been finalised, despatched to the central management for clearance and that the manifestos for the 5 Assemblies going to polls are being launched one after the other. If the manifesto preparation has been shrouded in secrecy, the old-timers are bristling over being ignored throughout ticket distribution with the most recent entrants making the reduce.
The basic case of former Governor Okay. Vidyasagar Rao’s son, Vikas Rao, managing to actually ‘snatch’ the Vemulawada ticket from occasion’s election marketing campaign committee chairman Eatala Rajender’s shut follower Tula Uma on the final minute after her title figured within the official listing launched (she has now joined BRS), is symptomatic of the confusion among the many rank and file.
Central leaders had intervened and gave an earful in order that the veteran occasion stalwart isn’t embarrassed even when Mr.Rajender was sad on the flip of occasions. This was one occasion the place the old-timers’ clout prevailed; in any other case, it has been a crushing disappointment particularly throughout the metropolis and Rangareddy district thought-about the occasion’s bastion.
To present a couple of examples – former GHMC flooring chief B. Shaymsundar Goud has been an aspirant for Sanathnagar constituency however it was given to former Minister Marri Shashidhar Reddy who moved from the Congress. Deshpande Rajeshwar Rao was denied the ‘B’ type and it was given to P. Raju on the final minute in Sangareddy. In Medak, P.Vijaykumar was given ticket over claims by Janardhan Reddy.
Mr.Kishan Reddy’s prime follower B. Venkat Reddy stop after he realised he was not getting Amberpet constituency. The ticket was given to former Minister C.Krishna Yadav, a bugbear for the saffron occasion from his scholar days as if so as to add insult to damage.
Similar goes with tickets issued for Jubilee Hills (L.Deepak Reddy), Secunderabad (Sarangapani), Medak (Vijaykumar), Chevella (Okay.S. Ratnam) Ibrahimpatnam (Dayanand Goud) and others. Actually, not one of the 9 seniors of erstwhile Rangareddy district have been accommodated regardless of assembly the bigwigs and no effort was made to ‘counsel’ them.
Previous-timers and cadre additionally appear decided to not do a repeat of the Munugode bypoll ‘mistake’. “The cadre gave it their all for Komitireddy Rajagopal Reddy and were gutted to see him jump ship and contest from the Congress this time. Ticket aspirants among veterans are disappointed but will be loyal to the party. It was easier to blame the major alliance partner like Telugu Desam Party earlier not now. But, make no mistake, there is an unease among the cadre about plunging headlong wholeheartedly into the campaign for the contesting newcomers,” mentioned a senior chief.
