Hyderabad: The suspense over the next Telangana BJP president continues, with several contenders reportedly in the fray. Party insiders indicate that clarity on the issue is likely after Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to Nizamabad on June 29, where he is scheduled to inaugurate the Turmeric Board’s headquarters.
The leadership change comes at a critical time, with local body elections in Telangana mandated to be held before September as per a High Court directive. Sources suggest the BJP high command is planning to announce new state presidents for ten states in one go, a move expected to pave the way for the party’s national leadership transition as well.
Rajya Sabha MP Dr. K. Laxman hinted that the announcement for Telangana BJP president could come in the second week of July. With the ruling Congress already implementing welfare schemes such as fine rice distribution, ration card issuance, and Rythu Bharosa disbursements ahead of the polls, BJP is expected to make its leadership decision soon in a bid to strengthen its organisational structure before the elections.
