The BJP is able to successfully win over some top level leaders from TDP and Congress in AP and Telangana states. But that is not triggering a wave of migrations of more leaders and activists in the field level. All through, the BJP has got a very nominal presence as far as Assembly elections are concerned in Telugu States. Now, the Modi-Shah duo has set a target of winning Assembly elections in 2022 Jamili elections.
The mood in top leadership has put a big responsibility on the leaders who have joined the BJP recently. They got busy to convince and win over more TDP leaders to join the BJP. This is the immediate task before even the four MPs Sujana Chowdary, CM Ramesh, TG Venkatesh and Garikipati Rammohan Rao in AP. They are trying hard to win over even a good number of MLAs from TDP to make the BJP the main opposition party in the state. But there is some response from only one or two MLAs but nearly 16 MLAs are required to deprive TDP of its opposition status in Assembly.
Even in Telangana, top leaders like DK Aruna are now busy convincing more leaders to migrate from Congress. Analysts say that this is just a beginning as the BJP national leaders will do whatever it takes to sabotage rival parties and get a decent presence in Telugu states in the next two years.
