BJP president Amit Shah has not only sets huge target of enrolling 45 lakhs new members for the party leaders of the AP state but also sets 70 MLAs target for 2019 general elections, which clearly hints about his intentions. But, at the same time it is also indicating that he still would like to go along with TDP in 2019 general elections. If, the state BJP leadership could make it to that number, then it can demand its alliance partner TDP for more seats or can go alone to the elections.

 

Earlier, he told the media that his party will role red carpet to any leader who respects the party leadership and its policies. So, the target-70 might be about attracting other party leaders or MLAs. Amit Shah has given them necessary guidelines on how to achieve that target. But, they are reported to be told him that may not be able to reach his target of enrolling 45 lakhs new members in the state.

 

They may have their own reasons and problems for it, but Amit Shah has make their eyes open. He told them that BJP has managed to reach the targets in Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal despite the state governments there are strongly resisting its efforts, whereas in the AP, BJP is part of the state government and also its alliance partner. Hence, the state BJP leaders have to strive hard to reach his targets, if they are really serious about their tall claims.
