BJP’s strategy seem to be surprising even for the best of the political experts in Telugu. The party seem to be in no mood of helping the truncated state in any ways but is only keen on getting political mileage. The party is planning nine public meetings in various towns of Andhra Pradesh very soon.

Union Ministers will be attending the meeting and will be bluffing about the 1.6 Lakh Crore figure (arrived with dubious calculation) here. As per plan, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will attend Vishakapatnam, HRD Minister Smriti Irani to Vijayawada, Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar to Nellore, Water Resources Minister Uma Bharati to Tirupati, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad to Kakinada, Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan to Rajahmundry, Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar to Anantapur and Power Minister Piyush Goyal to Kurnool.
The meetings will take place between May 27th to June 10th. Interestingly Telugu Minister, Venkaiah Naidu is not in the list. BJP has to realize that this range of publicity is not necessary if they help the state. In case this attitude continues, no range of publicity will help them grow here.
