Hyderabad: The State BJP has decided to delay its membership enrollment drive, which was supposed to start on Tuesday. This decision was announced by former MLC and senior BJP leader, N Ramachander Rao, during a press briefing on Monday.
Rao explained that the decision was made due to the ongoing flood situation in various parts of Telangana. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister of State for Home Amit Shah, and BJP party chief JP Nadda expressed their concern over the floods. They have asked party members to focus on helping with relief and rescue operations instead of the membership drive.
The membership drive, which was to be launched by Union Minister of Coal and Mines G Kishan Reddy, is now postponed. New dates and a revised schedule will be shared later, Rao added.
In the meantime, Dr. Kasam Venkateshwarlu, BJP State General Secretary, and NV Subhash, BJP State official spokesperson, conveyed that JP Nadda is seriously concerned about the heavy rains and floods in Telangana, which have caused significant damage and loss of lives.
Nadda had a detailed phone conversation with Kishan Reddy, who is also the president of Telangana BJP. During the call, Nadda expressed his concern over the loss of lives, damage to crops, and destruction of property. He also advised Kishan Reddy to cooperate closely with state government officials in rescue efforts, especially in ensuring that affected people receive food and clean water.
