HYDERABAD: Tarun Chug, who was appointed as the incharge of state BJP affairs, on Sunday said his topmost priority is to win the elections to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC).
He told TOI that the BJP was very clear on its electoral prospects in Telangana. “I will be visiting the state next week and will meet all the important leaders,” he said.
He said that after the Dubbak by-election, people have realized that BJP is the strong replacement for TRS in the state. “We will identify very critical issues and bring before the people of the state,” he said. Expressing gratitude to the national leadership for his crucial appointment, he said that party would play big after Dubbak by-election and the top leadership is serious on winning the next assembly elections in the state.
He said that BJP will go to grassroots level and explain to people the difference between Narendra Modi government and KCR rule. “We will tell people that every scheme of Narendra Modi government is for common man whereas TRS works only for the elite. There are enough examples like health schemes,” he said.
“In next few years we will strengthen the party from booth level. The new team at state level and national team for GHMC elections will play a major role. Bhupender Yadav, who is made incharge of the GHMC elections, is very good in preparing the right formulas for winning elections. All this will help us,” he added.
Chug, who was the co-incharge for Delhi affairs, is also made the incharge of Kashmir and Ladakh along with Telangana. Tarun Chugh was one of the five general secretaries of BJP, and national convener of Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao.
He unsuccessfully contested from Amritsar Central Assembly constituency of Punjab twice in 2012 and 2017.
