RAHUL TO JOIN TPCC’S BUS YATRA

-

AICC President, Rahul Gandhi, has agreed to take part in the ongoing bus yatras being conducted by the Congress in districts to expose the failures of the TRS government. This was disclosed by TPCC chief, N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, in Delhi, on Friday. Mr Reddy, along with expelled party MLAs, Komatiredd­y, Venkat Reddy, and SA, Sampath Kumar, met Mr Gandhi in Delhi and briefed him about the political developmen­ts in Telangana and about the High Court orders cancelling the expulsion of MLAs.

"Rahul has appreciate­d the efforts of the TPCC for successful­ly organising bus yatras in districts and exposing the failures of the TRS government on all fronts during the past four years. He told us that he wants to take part in these bus yatras soon. The schedule of his visit will be finalised in consultati­on with party high command," Mr Uttam said.

Mr Gandhi praised the expelled MLAs for successful­ly fighting the legal case against the state government. "Rahul Gandhi said that the High Court suspending the expulsion of party MLAs has saved democracy in Telangana. He asked us to fight against the undemocrat­ic functionin­g of the TRS government," Mr Reddy said. Mr Gandhi has expressed his complete support for all the agitation programmes to be taken up by TPCC at any level, he added.

Mr Gandhi also asked TPCC to work hard to bring the Congress back to power in Telagnana by taking up issues concerning the people and applying pressure on the TRS government to fulfill it's poll promises. Earlier, the expelled MLAs submitted a High Court order copy to the Election Commission of India. They complained against the TRS government for expelling them from the membership of the Assembly unilateral­ly and undemocrat­ically, and urged the EC to initiate stringent action against the TRS.

Mr Komatiredd­y said Mr Gandhi's words of encouragem­ent inspired them to take on the TRS government with more energy on its anti-people and anti-farmer policies. He vowed to continue his struggle against the TRS government by taking up a pada yatra across the state.

MR GANDHI praised the expelled MLAs for successful­ly fighting the legal case against the state government.
