Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) youth young, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) will be organising a three-day national convention in Hyderabad from October 26 to 28.
The convention will be inaugurated by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh. BJP president Amit Shah is also expected to attend the convention along with several other national leaders from the party. Around two lakh people are expected to take part in a three-day long programme.
Speaking to ANI about the convention, BJYM national president Poonam Mahajan said, "This is a one-of-its-kind convention. The most important part of the convention is that we will be having 70,000 office bearers participating in it. Home Minister Rajnath Singh will be inaugurating the event and we have Chief Ministers and Cabinet Ministers who will come here and tell us on what can be done more to reach out to the people of this country. The concluding session will be attended by Amit Shah and after we have large Yuva rally and a public meeting at the Parade ground."
The opposition Congress, however, raised objection over the convention and said that the Election Commission (EC) should not permit such political meetings in the poll-bound state.
"I believe it is organised totally against the model of conduct. The Election Commission should not permit such political meetings. It's a gross misuse of power by the central government. We condemn this act by the central government," Congress leader G Narayan Reddy told ANI.
The Telangana Legislative Assembly Elections is scheduled to be held on December 7, 2018, to elect members from 119 constituencies.
