The Telangana unit of the BJP is grappling with growing internal divisions, with factionalism emerging as a key challenge after recent electoral setbacks. Concerned over the drift, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stepped in with clear guidance to party MPs, urging them to refocus on organisation-building and public outreach rather than internal rivalries.
Factional fault lines worry the leadership
In the months following the Assembly elections, the Telangana BJP has witnessed differences among senior leaders over strategy, leadership roles, and public messaging. Competing power centres and inconsistent statements have weakened the party’s ability to present itself as a unified opposition, prompting intervention from the central leadership.
PM Modi’s core message: Unity and discipline
During recent interactions with BJP MPs from Telangana, PM Modi is understood to have stressed three key points:
-
Avoid public airing of internal differences and resolve issues within the party framework
-
Work as a collective unit, placing the organisation above individual ambitions
-
Stay connected to grassroots workers, who form the backbone of the party’s strength
The Prime Minister reportedly reminded MPs that electoral success depends as much on discipline and coordination as on ideological clarity.
Focus on people’s issues, not internal politics
PM Modi also advised MPs to sharpen their focus on local issues such as employment, infrastructure, welfare delivery, and governance lapses. By consistently raising public concerns on the ground and in Parliament, he said, the party could rebuild credibility and momentum in the state.
The emphasis, leaders say, is on being a visible, constructive opposition rather than getting consumed by internal competition.
Rebuilding organisation at the grassroots
Another major thrust of the advice was strengthening the party structure at the booth and mandal levels. MPs were encouraged to:
-
Regularly engage with district and booth-level workers
-
Mentor young leaders and avoid sidelining cadres
-
Coordinate closely with the state unit to ensure consistent messaging
The leadership believes that organisational cohesion is essential if the BJP wants to regain lost ground in Telangana.
The road ahead
With key political contests ahead, the BJP’s challenge in Telangana is not a lack of support base but the ability to harness it effectively. Whether PM Modi’s advice translates into tangible unity on the ground will determine how quickly the party can get back on track in the state.
For now, the message from the top is clear: unity first, politics later.
