Hyderabad: The BJP is intensifying its efforts to engage young voters ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana.
As the party enters election mode with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visits and Union ministers’ presence in the state, Telangana BJP leaders have now extended an invitation to Tejaswi Surya, the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) and Member of Parliament from Bangalore South. Surya holds significant influence among the youth.
State party leaders are in the process of planning Surya’s programme, and the young MP is expected to arrive in the state on October 12 as part of the BJP’s poll strategy.
During his visit, Tejaswi Surya will also convene a meeting with leaders of the Telangana Rashtra Yuva Morcha (BJYM) at a private hotel in Hyderabad. The meeting is intended to provide guidance to the cadre regarding the upcoming elections, according to party sources.
Surya is known for his powerful speeches and passionate rhetoric, which have occasionally sparked controversies throughout his political career. One notable controversy involved his alleged involvement in delivering hate speech.
In 2019, he faced accusations of making inflammatory remarks against other communities during a speech in Bengaluru and of spreading false information about minority communities on social media.
