The upcoming elections in Telangana will see a campaign focused on emotions and caste. The state BJP plans to release a manifesto that prioritizes the welfare of the Backward Classes (BCs), who make up the majority of the population. The party believes that the BCs have been neglected under the current government and wants to address their issues. They also aim to address the concerns of SCs, STs, and other sections of society.
The BJP hopes that the support of the BC community will help them come to power in Telangana. However, they emphasize that their manifesto will not ignore other sections of society. It will reflect the aspirations of the people who fought for separate statehood and will be based on interactions with various groups during their mass contact program.
The draft manifesto will focus on both development and welfare. It will build upon existing schemes such as Viswakarma Yojana, Arogyasri, Kalyana Lakshmi, and central welfare schemes like housing, Ayushman Bharat, and crop insurance for farmers. The party plans to submit the draft manifesto soon.
