BJP not power hungry, says Bandi Sanjay Kumar

We are here to ensure justice to poor, says Telangana party president

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders and cadre will not cowed down by the ‘harassment’ from the ruling Telangana Rastra Samithi (TRS) and will take inspiration from sacrifices made by the earlier generation of party leaders to ensure it comes to power in the next Assembly elections in 2023, claimed Telangana party president Bandi Sanjay Kumar on Tuesday. “We are neither power hungry nor hanker after power. However, the need for the BJP to form the next government here is imperative to provide justice to the poor and save Telangana from the current tyrannical regime. Many laughed at us when we were trying to form a government at the Centre too. Now, we are running a popular and clean government under the leadership of Narendra Mod,” he pointed out. Addressing a meeting on the occasion of the 41st anniversary celebrations of the party formation, Mr. Sanjay Kumar said the BJP had never compromised on its ideology or its principles in its quest for power. The fact that the Vajpayee government had resigned for missing the majority mark by a mere one MP without succumbing to any political blackmail was a good example. “We went back to people and got a renewed mandate from the people,” he said.
