The programme is aimed to secure at least 90 seats in the 119-member Telangana assembly to form its government.

In a bid to grab power in Telangana, the BJP is all set to launch various programmes under its ‘Mission 90’.
The mass-contact programme will also have 10,000 village-level meetings before April, a senior BJP leader said on Wednesday, 4 January.
The ‘Mission 90’ refers to 90 seats that the BJP is looking to win in Telangana in the 119-member House.
K Laxman, Rajya Sabha member and BJP OBC Morcha National President, said the decision launch ‘Mission 90’ was made at a recently held parliamentary ‘Vistarak’ meeting, which was also attended by the party general secretary, BL Santhosh, in Hyderabad.
“As part of Mission 90, the BJP targets to reach out to 10,000 villages after the Sankranti festival (15 January) by organising meetings with the slogan ‘KCR ko Hatao, Telangana ko Bachao‘ highlighting the corrupt and family rule of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao,” Laxman told PTI.
The meeting will also highlight the achievements and various schemes in Telangana being undertaken by the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said, adding that the second round of the campaign will have Assembly segment-wise public meetings.
Public meetings will also be held at every (undivided) district headquarters, and finally to culminate the entire programme, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address a massive public meeting in April.
“Amit Shah will release a ‘charge sheet’ against the KCR government’s promises made vis-à-vis failures,” the BJP leader said.
BJP National President JP Nadda will virtually address the party’s booth-level committee members of all the 119 Assembly segments on 7 January.
Laxman said the party is also planning to hold a meeting with about two lakh party workers in April to give them a direction ahead of the polls. Prime Minister Modi will address the meeting.
Aiming to expand its footprint in the southern states, the BJP held its national executive in Hyderabad in July last year.
Addressing a public meeting after the conclusion of the national executive, Modi, trying to prepare the party cadre for the Assembly polls, said the people of Telangana yearn for a ‘double-engine growth’ and asserted this will be fulfilled when the BJP comes to power in the state.
The BJP has been making efforts to emerge as the alternative to BRS and the saffron party has had reasonable success in a couple of Assembly bypolls and the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) election during the past two years.
Modi, during his recent visit to the city, tore into the ruling BRS alleging that people of Telangana are feeling betrayed and asserted that the ‘lotus will bloom’ everywhere in the state.
