Concluding points of Modi’s successful rally

-Today’s rally energized the BJP cadre in the state where BJP’s presence is not very good. Andhra is the state that gifted highest number of seats to Congress party in the last Lok Sabha elections. The state is ruled by Congress party, but there’s great deal of anti-incumbency and significant anti-Congress wave. But BJP is not the main anti-Congress force in the state, so it is not in position to get benefit from it. There are several parties that enjoy great share of anti-Congress wave. Today’s rally was a successful attempt to project BJP as one of the powerful alternatives to vote in Andhra.

-There was a message for Chandrababu Naidu to join NDA.

-In this whole exercise to hold a rally, the state BJP has identified its reach, its strength, its hold, its middle level leaders. Shri Kishan Reddy has emerged as one of the prominent leaders in Andhra.

-Modi’s clear stand on Telangana and Seemandhra issue was a sixer in the stadium.

-Idea of Modi’s meetings ahead of the rally, and after the rally with Telugu film industry people, prominent citizens, IT industry captains was perfect use of the occasion.
