Now that the Dubbak bypolls are over and there's a general impression that the BJP has given a good account of itself, the party is now focusing on the GHMC elections. The BJP wants to go the whole hog this time and put up a creditable performance.
The party is now on a spree to encourage defection of key leaders into the party. Already it has lured the vice chairperson of the Secunderabad cantonment board into the party. In addition, two corporators have also been brought into the party. One corporator is still in the TRS, but her husband has been made the president of the Medchal Urban district. The second corporator â T Srinivasa Reddy of Mylardevpalli â has joined the party amid much fanfare at the party office. Several key Congress leaders and TRS dissidents are also said to be looking forward to join the BJP.
The BJP is also planning to bring Vijayasanthi into the party before the GHMC elections. Her spirited campaign would help the BJP in a big way, especially in the urban areas such as the GHMC and the Warangal Municipal Corporation. Vijayasanthi is likely to join the party in a week's time, said a BjP source. The BJP is stung by the defection of its former spokesperson Ravula Sridhar Reddy into the TRS. But, at the same time, it is happy that not many BjP leaders have followed him.
