Kakinada: Andhra Pradesh BJP Chief P.V.N. Madhav emphasized that the Godavari districts have long been strongholds of the BJP, with the party securing nearly 27% of votes and achieving remarkable victories in the region’s past elections. He addressed a felicitation event in Kakinada held in honor of BJP State General Secretary Saligrama Lakshmi Prasanna. Madhav stated that positions in BJP are responsibilities, not decorations, and that the role of State General Secretary requires active travel and deep involvement in organizational activities. He praised Lakshmi Prasanna’s dedication and noted that her appointment recognizes her long-standing service to the party. Calling upon members of the Brahmin community to re-engage in politics, Madhav remarked that many have distanced themselves from public life in recent years and encouraged them to join BJP, a party that moves forward with nationalistic and developmental ideology. He also acknowledged senior BJP leaders Somu Veerraju and Paka Venkata Satyanarayana, highlighting their long contributions that led to significant positions, including Rajya Sabha membership. The event witnessed participation from key BJP figures such as MP Daggubati Purandeswari, MLA Dr. Parthasarathy, former MLA Kapu Ramachandra Reddy, Vetikuri Surya Narayana Raju, Nirmala Kishore, and BJP Kakinada District President Bikkina Visweswara Rao.
