Telangana BJP faces uphill task in quest for power

The Hindu  

The Bharatiya Janata Party has been on a roller-coaster ride ever since Telangana was formed. Once the ‘separate State’ agitation picked up, it became part of the Joint Action Committee, supported the Telangana Bill in Parliament, and bagged five Assembly seats and one MP in the 2014 general elections when the Telangana Rastra Samiti, now Bharat Rastra Samithi, was voted to power. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who maintained good relations with the Centre then, had managed to convince the Modi government to advance the State polls in 2018 and romped home with a massive majority even as the BJP won just one seat in Goshamahal, while the vote share remained the same at 7.1%. Yet, within a few months, in the 2019 Parliament polls, the party shocked TRS by bagging four seats out of 17 with voting percentage up by 19.7 — Bandi Sanjay Kumar from Karimnagar, Aravind Dharmapuri from Nizamabad, G. Kishan Reddy from Secunderabad and Soyam Babu Rao from Adilabad With a dozen Congress MLAs shifting to TRS and relations between the Chief Minister and Prime Minister souring, the BJP has made serious efforts to fill the Opposition vacuum, by winning bypolls in Dubbak, Huzurabad and many divisions in GHMC elections. Current president and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar seems to have thwarted a determined bid by former Minister and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender and his supporters to take over, in some form or other, the party’s campaign going forward for now.
