NRIs in Bahrain on Thursday under the leadership of Indian Overseas Congress senior leader Gampa Venugopal from London launched campaign appealing to the NRI families to vote for Congress nominee Madhu Goud Yashki in Nizamabad Parliamentary constituency.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Venugopal criticized that TRS in the name of NRIs’ welfare deceived them in 2014 and in January, 2018 promised to allocate ₹100 crores to welfare fund but did not even give one rupee. In the last Assembly election the TRS totally ignored the NRI welfare and then how would the NRI families back home vote for the party, he asked.

Demanding the TRS Government release a white paper on 100 day rule of K. Chandrasekhar Rao in the second term, he said Mr. Rao should reply why he did not release even one rupee for NRI welfare. The IOC Telangana representatives in Bahrain sought to remind that Ms. Kavitha in 2014 promised to come to the rescue of Gulf victims but in the last five years had not done anything for them.

Rajeswar Goud said that the then NRI Minister K.T. Rama Rao in NRIs’ meeting in 2018 made so many promises and they all remained on the papers. Vijay Marthad said that BJP and TRS were one and the same and failed to do for the welfare of Gulf NRIs. Avaduta Naresh and other representatives also appealed to the NRI families to vote for Congress in this election.
