Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a mega public meeting at the Secunderabad Parade Grounds in February 2015. This will be his maiden visit to Telangana after taking charge as PM.
 
Telangana BJP sources said Mr Modi will take part in a training programme for party activists. Mr Modi’s first public meeting is planned to boost the morale of party cadres, strengthen the party in Telangana and position itself as an alternative to the TRS by the 2019 general elections.
 
The BJP has recently launched an ambitious membership drive to enrol 10 crore members across the country. Telangana BJP has set a target to enrol 20 lakh members by January.
“We want BJP workers in every polling booth in Telangana. We are confident of enrolling 20 lakh workers,” said Mr G. Kishan Reddy, Telangana BJP president.
 
Mr Reddy said the TRS government has been facing an “anti-incumbency wave” due to its failure on all fronts. “Telangana has already witnessed the governance of Congress, TD and TRS.  Since all these parties have failed they have started looking at the BJP,” Mr Reddy added.
 
Sources said the BJP has decided to admit leaders from other parties. Former minister A. Chandrasekhar who worked with the Telugu Desam and TRS earlier is likely to join the BJP soon.
 
PM calls CMs’ meeting:
 
Prime Minister Modi has conveyed a meeting on December 7 of Chief Ministers at New Delhi to take their opinion about the new body replacing the Planning Commission. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Naidu will go to New Delhi on December 6 to attend the meeting. Some states like West Bengal are opposing the decision to abolish the Planning Commission.
 
PM Modi in the past announced that the centre government has decided to abolish the planning commission and constitute a new body. AP CM Naidu also supported the PM’s decision on abolition of planning commission. PM said that age old planning commission system is not suitable to cater to the aspirations of 21st century.
 
But some states like West Bengal are opposing the decision of abolition of planning commission. In fact PM Mode has invited the general public to give their ideas to shape the new institution that will replace the planning commission.
 
PM Modi in his Independence day speech said that the soviet style planning commission will be scrapped and it will be replaced with a new institution to address the current economic challenges and strengthen the federal structure.
