BJP state president Kishan Reddy has said that BJP would be staging a dharna at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on September 3, 4 and 5 to pitch its voice in support of Telangana state. He has also said that senior leaders such as L K Advani and Sushma Swaraj would take part in the agitation.
The political observers felt that Congress in the state was already reeling under pressure due to the strong demands being made by the opposition TDP over electricity and fee reimbursement issue. And BJP taking on Centre is not only going to exert extra pressure on the UPA but even the ruling Congress in the state, added observers. Will Centre make any statement or appeal to persuade BJP from staging this protest has become a million dollar question.
