The BJP leadership has asked its cadres to corner the State government by raising issues like agrarian crisis, ruling TRS unfulfilled promises and alleged corruption in government projects. They have also been instructed to bring in awareness among people about the Central schemes introduced by Narendra Modi government.
The local leaders have been told to take up massive campaign in two constituencies of Warangal city- Warangal West and East. The party State leadership feels that it stands a chance of winning the Warangal West seat currently represented by TRS MLA D Vinay Bhaskar. Party leaders like former MLAs Dharma Rao and T Rajeshwar Rao have been doing ground work for the past two years.

She has been touring the district extensively and interacting with people. In fact, she has now become the face of BJP in the Warangal city.

However, with Konda couple reportedly planning to join their parent party Congress, saffron brigade sees some light of hope as they feel that they could gain in a triangular fight between Congress, TRS and BJP
