HYDERABAD: Kishan launches ‘Gaon Gaon Chalo’ in Maheshwaram

Hyderabad: As part of BJP’s preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Union Tourism Minister and Telangana BJP president G Kishan Reddy on Tuesday launched the “Village Gaon Chalo” program at Ameerpet village in Maheshwaram mandal of Rangareddy district. Kishan will spend 24 hours in the village to interact with local residents.

The main objective of the program is to meet farmers, laborers and women in villages and raise awareness about the schemes being implemented by the Central Government.

Saying that all members of every household should be invited to join the party, the BJP state chief said at least 25 new members should be enrolled in each polling booth.

He also directed the party’s polling booth committees to popularize the NaMo app by advising them to create WhatsApp groups for the purpose. He also asked the cadre to convince Muslim women voters to support the saffron party.

“If 100 votes are cast at a polling booth, BJP should get 51 votes. If booth level leaders are successful in ensuring that the party gets 70 per cent of the votes, they will be felicitated.”

Kishan said the Center always strives to ensure the well-being and development of the poor, women empowerment and peace and security. Saying that the Modi government has provided better connectivity across the country by laying national highways, he said: “The distance covered by national highways in Telangana has increased from 2,400 km in 2014 to over 5,000 km now.”
