Has the BJP changed its strategy in Telangana? Has is decided to go ballistic and aggressive? Has it unveiled an ambitious plan of Operation Akarsh? Have Eatala Rajender and DK Aruna emerged as the lynchpins of the Operation Akarsh? Is it planning to bring back even those who had left the BJP?
Sources say the BJP is going very aggressive in getting back those who have left the party. It is even trying to lure those who are unhappy in either TRS or the Congress in Telangana. Though the BJP has started this process after the Dubbak and GHMC elections, it was halted after the Nagarjunasagar reversal. Now post the Huzurabad victory, the party is all buoyed up and is trying to put in place Operation Akarsh.
No less a person that BJP Telangana affairs incharge Tarun Chugh said that at least 24 TRS and Congress leaders were in touch with him. Even Union Minister Kishan Reddy has said that many persons were ready to join the BJP. Meanwhile, Eatala Rajender, who has joined the BJP and has won from Huzurabad, is focused on luring the disgruntled TRS leaders into the BJP. He has already got a green signal from the top leadersip to bring TRS leaders into the BJP.
Similarly, former minister and BJP national vice-president DKAruna too engaged in talking to several Congress leaders, who feel the party is not in a position to take on the might of the TRS. She is said to be in touch with several leaders. The operation akarsh is already showing its effect as more and more big names are showing interest in joining the BJP.
