Expects middle-class to be swayed by IT limit enhancement
The promise of tax exemption for the middle-class families with earnings of Rs. 3 lakh and for women up to Rs. 3.5 lakh, announced in the BJP manifesto, seems to have galvanised the city unit of the party.
For, the party officials believe that they have a potent weapon to draw out the middle and upper middle-class votes on the election day.
To drive home this message, the party’s Sanathnagar candidate B. Shyam Sundar Goud, along with State BJP president Bandaru Dattatreya on Sunday campaigned for half a day in the exclusive middle and upper and middle-class pockets of Ameerpet.
Making full use of the holiday, BJP workers took out a procession, in the colonies along Dharam Karan Road and Begumpet Railway station and tried their best to reach to as many voters as possible. Mr. Dattatreya and Mr. Goud stood on a modified multi utility vehicle with arms folded to greet and ask for the support from residents.
Special songs exclusively composed to highlight the salient features of BJP manifesto including promises on income tax exemption and Rs. 2 per kilo per rice blared out from the huge sound systems. “We firmly believe that the income tax exemption will strike a chord with the public,” said Mr. Goud.
Mr. Dattatreya exuded confidence of his party’s performance in Assembly and Lok Sabha elections in a chat with presspersons and also made it clear that the Secunderabad Lok Sabha seat is a race between BJP and Congress.
“We are getting good response in Secunderabad. The Praja Rajyam party is yet to get it act together in Secunderabad. I am confident of a good result from Secunderabad,” he said adding that the pro-poor agenda of BJP will help the party in winning votes.
