Several television serial artists have joined the BJP in Telangana. TV actress Vemulapalli Swarnalatha and some other serial actors embraced the saffron veil at a program held at the BJP state office in Hyderabad today. BJP state president N. Ramchandra Rao warmly welcomed them into the party by embracing them.

Speaking on the occasion, Ramchandra Rao... He severely criticized the ruling Congress and the opposition BRS parties. He questioned whether the two parties were immersed in accusing each other of illegal earnings and whether they ever cared about what the common man had earned. He lamented that the Congress, which had said it would expose BRS corruption in a hundred days, could not send anyone to jail even after a thousand days.

Ramchandra Rao alleged that the Congress and BRS were competing with each other in corruption. He alleged that the state government was cheating farmers by not paying premiums under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana and had teachers who were protesting for a solution to their problems arrested. He demanded that if the government is sincere, it should solve the problems of students, teachers and farmers. He expressed confidence that people are tired of the attitude of Congress and BRS and that BJP is emerging as an alternative force in the state. These additions were made as part of BJP's efforts to strengthen the party by inducting celebrities from the entertainment sector.
