After losing Karnataka to the Congress last year, the BJP has set sights on Telangana as its new electoral gateway to the south. Smarting from the loss in the only southern state where it was in power, the saffron party has turned to the November 30 Assembly elections in BRS-ruled Telangana in a bid to revive efforts to make deeper political and electoral inroads into the south ahead of the crucial general elections next year.

Aware that a win in Telangana would go a long way towards softening the Karnataka blow and reviving the party’s south expansion project going into the next Lok Sabha elections, the BJP pulled out its top guns and heavyweights for campaigning ahead of the single-phased polls.
