BJP looking for issues to boost its presence in Andhra Pradesh By Santosh Patnaik| Updated: 8th January 2021 8:44 pm IST It is on a massive karyakarta (committed worker) recruitment drive for the party as well as its frontal organisations keeping an eye on general elections due in 2024. The party appoints karyakartas regularly to promote Hindu nationalism at the ground level. The exodus of several MLAs and Former Ministers from the Telugu Desam Party to the ruling YSR Congress Party headed by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has given it the confidence at the prospects of becoming a formidable force. It is now targeting influential leaders from both TDP and Congress after a strategic alliance with film star Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena.
