BJP president Amit Shah to address public rally in poll-bound Telangana's Karimnagar on 10 October

Hyderabad: BJP’s campaign for the upcoming Assembly elections in Telangana is expected to get a boost with party president Amit Shah addressing a public meeting at Karimnagar on 10 October. “Sri Amit Shah ji Karimnagar public meeting on 10 October, 2019,” BJP’s Telangana unit president K Laxman said in a media release on Monday. Shah had kicked off the party’s campaign for the Assembly polls by addressing a meeting at Mahabubnagar on 15 September.

Laxman had earlier said the party’s national leaders, including Union ministers, would also take part in the campaign. Accordingly, Union Textiles Minister Smriti Irani had addressed a meeting for women, organised by the party at Chegunta near Hyderabad last week. BJP has announced that it would go alone in the Assembly polls. The polls were originally scheduled to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha elections next year. However, the Assembly was dissolved prematurely last month, which necessitated elections ahead of schedule. The election schedule is yet to be announced.
