Amit Shah
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president will address a public rally in poll-bound Telangana on October 10. Saffron party has already announced that it would go it alone in the Assembly polls.
"Sri Amit Shah ji Karimnagar public meeting on 10th Oct 2019," BJP's Telangana unit president K Laxman said in a media release on Monday. 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. It was organised by the party at Chegunta near Hyderabad last week.
By addressing a meeting at Mahabubnagar on September 15, Shah had kicked off the party's campaign for the Assembly polls.
In his speech, he had attacked the TRS regime in Telangana for bringing in early elections and for not implementing the party's 2014 election promises like making a Dalit leader the Chief Minister.
Originally, the polls were scheduled to be held simultaneously with the Lok Sabha elections 2019. However, last month, the Assembly was dissolved prematurely which necessitated polls ahead of schedule.
The schedule for election is yet to be announced by the Election Commission.
