Padayatras, street corner rallies, rallies and public gatherings are now regular events in Telangana
Hyderabad: Political parties are gearing up for the upcoming state elections, with a particular focus on bringing their agendas to the grassroots. As a means of reaching people, different schemes are being developed. Starting with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BRS), all parties including Congress, BJP and leftist parties have entered polling mode.
As a result, padayatras, street corner rallies, rallies and public gatherings have now become regular events in the state. The ruling BRS party is carrying out Atmeeya Sammelanams, adopting a multi-pronged strategy to showcase the welfare and development achieved by the country and ensure strong ties between national leaders and grassroots cadres.
The meetings also serve as a platform for leaders to prepare party cadres for elections. The onus was to make sure Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao was elected to power for the third consecutive term. Industry Minister and BRS Works Chairman KT Rama Rao, impressed with how the meeting was going, directed party leaders to hold the meeting until May.
Consistent with the plans of the ruling parties, the Congress and BJP parties also held street rallies and padayatras. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge addressed the Jai Bharat Satyagraha meeting in Adilabad on Friday. Likewise, the BJP state arm held street rallies to slander the government in addition to exposing its failures. After joining the coalition, the CPI State Department launched the “BJP to Hatav – Desh ko Bachav” campaign.
As part of this initiative, the party is conducting awareness-raising rallies in villages and reaching out to homes. The party has also drawn up a plan to involve its activists in a month-long campaign. CPI state secretary K Sambasiva Rao is also planning to hold some 3,000 corner meetings.
social media team
Political parties are hiring special social media teams to run campaigns on different social media platforms during traditional padayatras and corner meetings. While interacting with party leaders last week, TPCC chair Revanth Reddy wanted them to come up with a successful model and campaign on social media should Congress have to win the state’s next election.
