Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) [India], August 27 : Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Andhra Pradesh's Vijayawada on Sunday. He is scheduled to attend a public meeting and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) core group meeting in Telangana's Khammam.
All the arrangements have been made for the Rythu Gosa BJP Bharosa public meeting at Sri Rama Bhaktha Gentela Narayana Rao Government Degree College ground in Khammam town.
Earlier on Thursday, Telangana BJP president G Kishan Reddy said that the Union Home Minister will hold a rally in Khammam on Sunday regarding all the issues of farmers in the state, claiming that farmers "have been neglected for the last nine years under KCR government."
“In Telangana, farmers have been neglected for the last 9 years under CM KCR and BRS government. Due to rain, and natural calamities, farmers have faced huge losses. Loan waivers were not provided to the farmers of Telangana, Union HM Amit Shah is holding a program regarding all these issues related to the farmers,” Reddy said speaking to ANI.
Shah's visit is being linked to the BJP's preparation for the assembly election in the state later this year. BJP sources said lakhs of people are expected to attend Shah's rally. Shah was earlier scheduled to address the rally in June but it was postponed due to Cyclone Biparjoy.
During his visit to the state, Amit Shah will also meet senior party leaders to assess the party’s poll preparations. Sources said he will take stock of ground reports and discuss the party's plans and programmes regarding the assembly polls.
BJP leaders said there is “anti-incumbency” against the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) government in Telangana. “All sections including employees, students and farmers are angry with the government. People of Telangana are now looking at BJP and for a double-engine government to realise their aspirations and redeem Telangana from clutches of corruption and dynasty,” a party leader said.
“The BJP will stand by the people of Telangana and ensure that their aspirations and dreams are realised,” he added.
The ruling BRS has announced most of its candidates for the assembly elections. The polls will witness a triangular contest between the BRS, Congress and the BJP.
