Hyderabad: Former Congress President Sonia Gandhi issued a final call to the people of Telangana on Tuesday, urging them to support the Congress party through a video message, as the election campaign enters its closing hours.
Expressing her regret for being unable to personally visit the state, Sonia Gandhi emphasized the deep connection she feels with the people of Telangana. She emphasized the urgent need to shift from a Telangana tailored for the elites to one that caters to the masses, stating, "We need to transform 'Dorala Telangana' into 'Prajala Telangana'. The affection shown by addressing me as Sonia Amma holds a special place in my heart, and I am genuinely thankful for all the love and respect."
Sonia Gandhi earnestly appealed to the women, men, and the youth of Telangana to seize the opportunity to vote for change and lend their support to the Congress party.
