BJP President Amit Shah is expected to take active membership from Telangana, where the party has set its sights on capturing power in the 2023 Assembly elections, a senior leader said here on Monday. “He (Shah) has promised and assured to take active membership from Telangana and Hyderabad, that too from my residential address,” BJP Telangana unit president K Laxman told.
Taking active membership is a symbolism which Shah is showcasing as he considers Telangana as the priority state to come to power in the next elections, according to BJP spokesperson Krishna Saagar Rao. Laxman said Shah is expected to take the active membership on September 17 when he is proposed to visit the city to attend the celebration of ‘Telangana Liberation Day’ (which marks the merger of erstwhile Hyderabad state with the Indian Union in 1948), being organised by the state BJP. He said the party’s state unit has requested Shah, who is also the Union Home Minister, to attend the ‘Telangana Liberation Day’ on September 17.
