Praja Sangrama Yatra 2.0: Amit Shah to address public rally at Thukkuguda on May 14

Hyderabad: Union Home Minister Amit Shah will visit Telangana on May 14 to address a public meeting and wrap up the second leg of 'Praja Sangrama Yatra'. BJP's Telangana unit said Shah will address the public meeting at Thukkuguda in the Maheshwaram constituency in the Rangareddy district.

The saffron party is planning a massive show of strength by mobilizing people in large numbers.

State BJP leaders expect that the meeting will boost the morale of the party and gear up the cadre for the next year's assembly election.

The state party chief has been having discussions with the seniors to mobilize a record number of people. Leaders have set a target of 20 persons per polling booth and 5,000 for every assembly constituency across Telangana.

BJP's show of strength comes close on the heels of the Congress party holding a massive public meeting in Warangal on May 6. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had addressed the meeting. He made a slew of promises to farmers.

BJP wants Shah's meeting to be four times bigger than Congress' Warangal rally.

Amit Shah will be the second key leader of the BJP to address a public meeting as part of Bandi Sanjay's Padyatra. The yatra is aimed to highlight the failures of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government.

BJP national president JP Nadda had addressed a public meeting at Mahabubnagar on May 5. He claimed that the people of Telangana want a change. He said people are pinning hopes on BJP for growth and development.

Nadda said that the BJP's victory in the Dubbaka and Huzurabad Assembly by-election reflects the people's mood.

Some central ministers had also participated in the second leg of the padayatra launched on April 14 from Alampur in the Jogulamba Gadwal district.

During the month-long foot march, Bandi Sanjay was to cover 385 kilometers in five districts. He had to pass through 105 villages in 10 assembly constituencies. The yatra will end on May 14.

Sanjay, who is also a Member of Parliament from Karimnagar, is covering 10-15 km every day to interact with people to know their problems.

The BJP leader alleged that there is corruption and family rule in the state and all sections of people including youth, employees and farmers are unhappy.

The first phase of the yatra started in Hyderabad in August 2021. It lasted for 36 days covering 19 assembly constituencies and half a dozen parliamentary constituencies in eight districts.
