BJP State vice-president B.Y. Vijayendra has said his role either in the party or the State government would be decided by the party’s high command.
He told presspersons in Shivamogga on Friday that he was not expecting any bigger role in the party or the government. “The party will decide if I should contest in the Assembly election. The same applies to the question whether I would be inducted into the Cabinet. I have no expectations. The party will take a call. I am a worker of the party.”
The party, he said, had decided to conduct social service activities for seven days to mark the birthday celebrations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Workers across the country had organised blood donation camps, visits to old-age homes for distribution of fruits and many such works.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
