Hyderabad: The Telangana unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday declared that the Prime Minister’s chair was “not vacant till 2047” and criticised Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for projecting Rahul Gandhi as the country’s next Prime Minister.
In a press release, BJP State Chief Spokesperson and Media In-Charge N.V. Subash questioned the basis of the Chief Minister’s remarks. He asked where the Prime Minister’s post was vacant and asserted that Narendra Modi enjoyed strong public support.
He stated that the Prime Minister’s position would not fall vacant “for the next two decades, till 2047.” According to him, the Congress was making exaggerated political claims to divert attention from the alleged non-implementation of election guarantees in Telangana.
Subash said Telangana had only 17 Lok Sabha seats. Therefore, he termed the projection of Rahul Gandhi for the top post as political daydreaming rather than ground reality. He also questioned Rahul Gandhi’s leadership credentials and described the projection as premature.
PM chair not vacant till 2047, says BJP
The BJP leader further alleged internal dissensions within the Congress and referred to political developments in Karnataka. He argued that such internal issues weakened the party’s national prospects.
Turning to civic matters, he opposed the reported proposal to restructure the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. He claimed the move would create confusion in property registration, tax payments and civic service delivery.
The party demanded transparency in the utilisation of Central funds reportedly amounting to ₹650 crore for civic bodies. It also sought clarity on the Congress promise of ₹2 crore for each municipal division.
Expressing confidence ahead of the GHMC elections, Subash predicted that the BJP would register significant gains in the civic polls and the 2028 Assembly elections.
