<p>Hyderabad, DHNS: Former union minister and BJP Telangana election in-charge, Prakash Javadekar, alleges that both BRS and Congress have betrayed the people of Telangana and winds of change are blowing in favour of BJP. </p><p>Speaking to S N V Sudhir, Javadekar ruled out any impact of replacing Bandi Sanjay with Union Minister G Kishan Reddy as party state unit chief. Excerpts:</p>.<p><strong>What are the chances of BJP doing well in Telangana?</strong></p>.<p>BJP is receiving a tremendous response. It was thought that BJP would not make much of an impression, but the reality is that BJP will win in Telangana. So, in hindsight, both (BRS & Congress) are fighting for the second place. Even in Kamareddy, the BJP candidate will defeat Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao and PCC chief A Revanth Reddy. The winds of change are blowing because of the corrupt government and people understand that the BJP fought on all issues.</p>.Karnataka govt ads in Telangana in violation of MCC: EC on BJP complaint.<p><strong>Why should people choose BJP instead of BRS or Congress?</strong></p>.<p>Both have betrayed the people of Telangana. Congress has betrayed by delaying the formation of the state for 50 years. They never made a BC chief minister. They are responsible for killing 359 people and 1,200 suicides. The Telangana agitation is a long-term issue. It was not for creating a corrupt rule. BRS has also betrayed the people. After coming to power, KCR made it a family affair. So, people are angry. People love PM Narendra Modi and want a Modi-like government.</p>.<p><strong>But, barring a few places in North Telangana, it appears to be a bipolar fight between BRS and Congress. Where does the BJP stand?</strong></p>.<p>No, in more than 60 places, it is a fight between BRS and BJP. See, Congress has hyped it up in the media. But as I said, on the ground it is not. They are not receiving the support. With money power, you can't buy the votes. In Huzurabad by-polls, BRS spent Rs 600 crore, but the BJP candidate Eatela Rjender won. This is how it works. People take money, but vote for candidates they think will work for them.</p>.<p><strong>It also appears that the momentum that was built until last year has been lost. Replacing Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay with G Kishan Reddy as Telangana BJP chief has had an impact. What's your take?</strong></p>.<p>No. The issue is, today, Bandi Sanjay has traveled to more than 60 constituencies and has done tremendous work. So, this is why we are going to win in North Telangana. </p><p>Hyderabad we are sweeping and in other areas also we will have a good presence. Bandi Sanjay is now the National General Secretary. It is a promotion.</p>
