VISAKHAPATNAM: “Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a clear vision about its next election action plan which is aimed at bagging all the 130 Parliamentary seats which are identified as weak for us. Among them, most of the seats are in the southern states,” P Muralidhar Rao, National General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janatha Party said. As part of his North Andhra districts’ MP constituencies tour, he arrived at the Port City on Thursday and participated in the Constituency representatives meet which was held at a hotel. Muralidhar Rao interacted with the media and spoke on various issues.
“When it comes to strengthening the BJP in AP, we don’t think that the ruling party and our coalition government partner TDP will be an obstacle for us at all,” he felt. “Demonetization, strict implementation of GST along with several welfare and reform programmes by our government attracted more and more people towards the BJP and our chief attraction is Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his clean image and administrative skills,” he added.
While answering a question about the Special Railway Zone for Vizag, Muralidhar Rao cleared said, “We are going to fulfil all the election promises made by us including the special railway zone. There is no backing out on any promise that we made to the people and we will make them all real as early as possible,” he assured. MP Hari Babu revealed that very soon, the railway department is going to start the “Vizag to Varanasi” Express train service. ‘Due to lack of rakes, this service is getting delayed and after our representations, the government has concentrated on the issue. It is going to happen very soon,” the MP stated.
Later, Muralidhar partiticipated in the Visakha, Anakapalle, Kakinada and Araku Valley party representatives’ discussion. He also participated in the “Swachh he Seva” campaign program for “Swachh Bharat” in Akkayyapalem. Vizag MP K Haribabu, BJP MLA Vishnukumar Raju, BJP city wing President Nagendra, and others were also present.
