The BJP has released its manifesto. One of the most important challenges before the next government would be to revive the Indian economy.

The first round of polling is over now. Polling is spread out over five weeks. A week is also a long time in politics. My appeal to the BJP supporters all over the country is that no election is over till the last vote is polled.

Finally, the BJP alliance with Telugu Desam Party stands announced. This alliance represents a formidable challenge to all our opponents in the states of Seemandhra and Telangana.

As the election campaign enters the final stage with the announcement of most of our candidates, the BJP and the NDA are clearly front-runners. We not only have to preserve the lead, but also improve upon it.

Committed politicians need to be obsessed. It is their own choice whether they can be obsessed about their ideological and developmental issues or about themselves.

In the course of my campaign, I have met thousands of people, Trade and Industry Organizations, and several entrepreneurs.  The declining economic situation in the country has impacted all.
