The 51st birthday celebrations of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi were subdued with Telangana Congress leaders avoiding lavishness and confining themselves to distributing essential commodities to poor people.
At a programme held at Gandhi Bhavan, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president and Nalgonda MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy inaugurated the free COVID-19 vaccination camp organised by the NSUI and rice distribution camps organised by the OBC and minority cells of the TPCC.
He termed Mr. Gandhi a visionary and man of people. He said despite being offered to be Prime Minister and Union Minister, Mr Gandhi preferred to serve people like a common man showcasing his simplicity. He reminded that the great-grandfather, grandmother, and father of Rahul worked as Prime Ministers of the country and top posts were not new to the young leader.
