HYDERABAD: The Karnataka Assembly elections' triumph has fueled the Congress party's enthusiasm as they gear up to kickstart their campaign in Telangana. A momentous public rally, led by Rahul Gandhi, is scheduled to take place in the Khammam region on Sunday.
The Assembly elections are slated for December 2023.
Revanth Reddy, the President of the State Congress, emphasized the significance of Rahul Gandhi's public rally in propelling the party forward. The united efforts of the party workers aim to combat the BRS-led government, spearheaded by Chief Minister K.C. Chandrashekar Rao.
The party firmly believes that capturing 10 seats in the Khammam region will pave the way for a sweeping victory, capitalizing on the prevailing anti-incumbency sentiment and the controversy surrounding the distribution of podu land by the ruling BRS government.
Bhatti Vikramarka, the Congress CLP leader, has embarked on a padayatra to expose the shortcomings of the ruling BRS government. This padayatra is set to culminate on Sunday.
There are allegations that the ruling government is intentionally sabotaging the success of the rally.
Revanth Reddy expressed concern over the transportation arrangements, revealing that despite paying Rs 2 crore to rent 1,500 Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) buses to transport people from across the state to Khammam, the necessary arrangements have not been made.
Challenged to orchestrate a successful public rally and invigorate the party's cadres, Revanth Reddy remains determined. Speculation of an early election looms within Telangana's political circles. Former MP Ponuleti Srinivas Reddy is expected to join the Congress in the presence of Rahul Gandhi in Khammam.
In addition to the public rally, Rahul Gandhi will engage in meetings with the party's top leaders.
