Cong. jubilant over Dandora turnout
TRAFFIC CAME to a halt in a radius of 20 km around Gajwel. Several thousands of people failed to make it to the venue due to traffic jams and lack of space.
THE RESPONSE was so huge that the sprawling ground was lit with thousands of mobile phone torches when TPCC chief Revanth Reddy asked people to switch on the lights to extend support and show the way to Prime Minister
Narendra Modi and Chandrashekar Rao who were stuck in darkness.
The massive gathering at the Congress' Dalit Dandora in Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s home constituency Gajwel on Friday clearly boosted the morale of party leaders and cadres.
Congress leaders are said to be surprised at the size of the turnout even as the TRS allegedly created hurdles to prevent people from attending the meeting by threatening them with cancelling their Aasara pensions, 2BHK houses etc if they did so.
Traffic came to a halt in a radius of 20 km around Gajwel. Several thousands of people failed to make it to the venue due to traffic jams and lack of space.
The response was so huge that the sprawling ground was lit with thousands of mobile phone torches when TPCC chief Revanth Reddy asked people to switch on the lights to extend support and show the way to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chandrashekar Rao who were stuck in darkness.
Revanth Reddy dared the CM and the intelligence department to ascertain for themselves whether one lakh people attended the meeting or not as stated by him earlier. If their count came to even one less than one lakh, he was ready to hold a meeting again in Gajwel with five lakh people in six months.
Enthused by the response, Revanth Reddy announced from the dais that he would undertake the next round of Dandora rallies for the unemployed and students from October 2 to December 9.
The Congress also released a 15-point chargesheet against the TRS government, charging it with deceiving Dalits and tribals on the CM’s post and three-acres land, enhanced reservations to Dalits, 2BHK houses for poor, a government job for every household, filling job vacancies in government, diversion of SC/ ST sub-plan funds, KG to PG free education, ignoring fee reimbursement scheme, increasing atrocities against Dalits and tribals, ditching tenant farmers among others.
