While senior State bjp leaders attempt to convey the idea that prime minister Narendra Modi's upcoming two public meetings in the State will make things right and help the party regain lost ground, several party leaders and senior party functionaries believe that Modi's visit won't be of any assistance because the party has grown weaker at the grassroots level.

The party's prospects won't change, according to the leaders, until booth level committees are strengthened and outreach initiatives are implemented. "The prime minister will speak at public events, make a few statements, and then go. However, the actual work needs to be done at the local level. All of the PM's plans will be forgotten by the public in a day or two. The PM and other core leaders' public appearances won't be effective, a bjp leader declared.

The leaders used the elections in karnataka as an example, pointing out that despite the prime minister being the major election campaigner, the party was unable to retake power. The prime minister had limited options while in office in Karnataka. A bjp senior questioned how it was possible to expect his rallies to help the party get back on course.

The party's prospects were hyped up at Modi's public meeting in warangal as well, but soon after the event, Bandi Sanjay was replaced by G Kishan Reddy, and party activities came to a full halt. In reality, the bjp was shaken by increasing dissident voices, and a number of party officials defected.

BJP officials in this country believe that relying too much on Modi, like in karnataka, will be ineffective because the party hasn't done anything locally to win the favour of the populace. However, competing parties, particularly BRS, have already declared 115 candidates and have begun their campaigns. Even congress has made six promises to draw people in.

Because the party does not have victorious candidates in the majority of the seats, the State officials are concerned. In actuality, it has only been successful in choosing candidates for around 40 or so constituencies and has had difficulty filling the other seats. In order to run for office, the party received over 6,000 applications from people, however the majority of them are from non-serious candidates.

Senior leaders, on the other hand, are restricted to news conferences and do not participate in grassroots activities. In fact, a bus yatra was postponed because to poor leadership coordination. Many worry that the party's assembly vote share will remain in the single digits once again. It only succeeded in winning one seat in 2018 while losing deposits in 105 of the seats it ran for.
