The next phase of the Praja Chaitanya Bus Yatra of Congress will begin on Sunday with a public meeting in Mancherial and will end on May 19 covering 7 constituencies of erstwhile Adilabad and Warangal districts.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said the Mancherial meeting will be followed by meetings in Chennur on May 14; Sirpur Kagaznagar on May 15; Asifabad on May 16; Bellampalli on May 17; Warangal (East) on May 18 and Wardhannapet on May 19. The previous editions have covered 32 Assembly constituencies where Mr. Reddy targeted the government on various fronts.
Mr. Reddy said the Congress has emerged stronger across the State and he could sense the anger against the government among people. The response was huge and the meetings gave us the confidence that Congress would form the next government in Telangana, he said.
The TPCC chief also said that the Rythu Bandhu scheme launched by the TRS government was just an election gimmick as Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is afraid of farmers’ ire and that is why he is distributing ₹4,000 per acre to farmers. He said that the State Government should pay 25% of MSP as bonus on all crops to farmers if it wants to help them.
In an interaction with the party workers on social media platform, the TPCC chief asked the Congress workers to explain to people as to how the previous Congress regimes have ensured welfare of farming community waiving off crop loans in a single take, provided free power and supplied seed and fertilizer on subsidised rates.
Stating that the list of TRS government’s failures is too long, he asked the party workers to stay united, clam and organised to support various sections of the society who are being cheated by the government.
He said all leaders of the party would participate in the bus yatra and address meetings at various places.
