“BJP Will Rise as Telangana’s Only Alternative”: Ramchander Rao Fires First Shot

“Narratives Won’t Divide BJP—We’re Here to Win, Together”: Rao to Hindusthan Samachar

I will build the party from the grassroots to bring it to power in 2028: N. Ramchander Rao

New Delhi/Hyderabad, July 1(HS):

In an exclusive interaction with Hindusthan Samachar, newly appointed Telangana BJP President N. Ramchander Rao spoke at length about his vision for the party, his leadership style, and the roadmap to 2028.

A veteran BJP leader, Rao has been associated with the party since his student days with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) in the 1970s and 80s. Over the decades, he has served as BJYM Secretary, State Legal Cell Convenor, National Legal Cell Member, General Secretary, and Party Spokesperson for undivided Andhra Pradesh and later Telangana.

Hindusthan Samachar: Firstly, what is your vision going forward?

N. Ramchander Rao:

Firstly, I’d like to function through collective leadership. That’s most important. Also, this narrative some people are building around new vs old members—I want to shut that down. We’re one party, one unit. Everyone needs to work together.

Hindusthan Samachar: What are the immediate challenges before the party?

N. Ramchander Rao:

The local body elections are right ahead of us. For the first time, BJP will be contesting on such a large scale—from the Panchayat level to the Parliament. From ward members to JPTCs, from municipal councils to corporations—this is both a big opportunity and a major challenge.

Hindusthan Samachar: So the local body elections are your first big target?

N. Ramchander Rao:

Yes. The state local body elections are due any time now. That’s our first challenge, and we must be ready to face it organisationally and electorally.

Hindusthan Samachar: And beyond that?

N. Ramchander Rao:

Beyond that, my focus is on rebuilding the party from the grassroots, right from the booth level. Our mission is to ensure that the BJP comes to power in Telangana by 2028. People are disillusioned with the current government. There’s a strong anti-incumbency wave, and the BJP is emerging as the natural alternative. Our job is to organise, energise, and turn that public sentiment into electoral reality.

Hindusthan Samachar: Will agitation be part of your political strategy?

N. Ramchander Rao:

Definitely. There are several anti-people policies being implemented by the current government. We will take them up, raise our voice, and build strong agitation movements to stand by the people. The BJP cannot remain a silent spectator when the public is suffering—we will lead from the front

With his vast experience, ideological clarity, and legal background, N. Ramchander Rao brings both strategy and discipline to the Telangana BJP. In this exclusive interview with Hindusthan Samachar, he laid out a clear roadmap built on unity, grassroots mobilisation, and organisational strength. His message is unambiguous: “We are one party, one mission—bringing BJP to power in 2028 starts from the booth level.
