NEW DELHI,8 May 2026: Senior BJP leader and Member of Parliament DK Aruna declared that Telangana is the BJP’s “next target” after the conclusion of elections in five states, claiming that the saffron party is preparing aggressively for the next Assembly elections in the state.
“The people of Telangana are waiting for PM Modi’s arrival. The Prime Minister’s first visit after the elections in five states is to Telangana. Everyone should understand that Telangana is the BJP’s next target,” she said.
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit Telangana on May 10, during which he is expected to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for several development projects.
Aruna said there is a growing demand among the people for a BJP government in Telangana under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“The saffron flag will fly in Telangana in the next elections,” Aruna said, adding that the BJP’s focus has now shifted towards expanding its footprint in the southern state following the completion of polling in five states.
She claimed that voters, particularly women, had rejected parties that opposed the Women’s Reservation Bill and said the BJP continues to gain support across the country.
“People defeated the parties that opposed the Women’s Reservation Bill in the elections. Women have shown their anger in these polls,” she said.
Referring to political developments in other states, Aruna said the BJP had strengthened its position in states including Assam, Puducherry and West Bengal and alleged that people in Telangana were now aspiring for a “double-engine government”, a term often used by the BJP to describe governments run by the same party at both the Centre and the state.
