BJP will form next govt in Telangana, says new state party chief Rao

Hyderabad, July 5 (UNI) Newly appointed Telangana BJP president Ramchander Rao on Saturday asserted that the BJP is rapidly emerging as the people’s preferred alternative in the state and vowed that the party will contest all seats in the upcoming local body elections — from ward members to ZPTCs — with the goal of forming the next government.
Addressing a press meet, Ramchander Rao reflected on his political journey. “I began as a grassroots worker in the BJP — pasting posters, riding a bicycle, and working tirelessly at the booth level. Today, being appointed as state president by the party leadership is recognition of the dedication of not just mine, but of the lakhs of workers like me who have built this party brick by brick,” he said
Rao said the BJP, which is in power in 13 states with its own majority and part of the ruling alliance in others, is the world's largest political party with over 14 crore members. “In Telangana alone, 40 lakh BJP workers are actively working at the grassroots. This is not just a political party, it’s a movement,” he added.
