The scheduled public rally of Union Home Minister Amit Shah at Khammam has been postponed due to the severe cyclone impacting the Arabian Sea, affecting regions in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and the west coast. Telangana BJP President Bandi Sanjay Kumar made the announcement, stating that the Home Minister has been closely monitoring the situation and prioritizing relief efforts in the affected areas. In light of the cyclone’s severity and the need for attention and resources elsewhere, it was deemed inappropriate to hold the public meeting at this time.
Cancellation of Amit Shah’s Public Rally:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah was scheduled to address a public rally in Khammam on Thursday. However, due to the intense cyclone in the Arabian Sea, which has led to heavy rainfall, evacuations, and disruptions in neighboring states, the decision was made to cancel the event. Bandi Sanjay Kumar, the Telangana BJP President, acknowledged that although all necessary arrangements had been made, it was considered unsuitable to proceed with the public meeting given the prevailing circumstances.
Response to Political Allegations:
During a subsequent public meeting in Qutbullapur, Bandi Sanjay Kumar responded to claims made by Minister K.T. Rama Rao regarding BJP corporators ready to join the BRS (Bharatiya Rashtravadi Samanta) party. Sanjay Kumar stated that while 25 BRS MLAs were reportedly in contact with the BJP, the party’s policy dictated that individuals could only join after resigning from their current positions. He emphasized the BJP’s stance against political opportunism and asserted that the party believed in adhering to ethical standards by not admitting individuals from other parties without resigning from their existing posts.
Accusations and Promises:
Sanjay Kumar further alleged that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao indirectly supported Congress candidates in 30 constituencies, highlighting a perceived alliance between the two parties against the BJP. He criticized the “Dharani” portal, a government initiative, describing it as a failure and claiming that the number of people adversely affected by its implementation could easily fill a public meeting. The BJP leader emphasized the achievements of the Modi government in various sectors and accused the BRS of failing to fulfill their promises, with only foundation stones laid for projects without significant progress.
Future Plans and Conclusion:
Despite the cancellation of Amit Shah’s public rally at Khammam, the BJP remains committed to its political goals in Telangana. Bandi Sanjay Kumar expressed his determination to eradicate corruption and take action against those involved if the people of Telangana provide the BJP with an opportunity in the next elections. The cancellation of the public meeting due to the severity of the cyclone showcases the party’s prioritization of public safety and the need to address immediate challenges. As the situation develops, the BJP will continue its political efforts while focusing on supporting relief efforts in the affected regions.
