The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee is considering starting a bus yatra from August 15. The yatra will cover all Assembly constituencies and will be carried out in phases. In the first phase, 10 senior leaders are expected to participate.
This decision was made during a meeting of the TPCC political affairs committee, chaired by Manikrao Thakre, the party’s State in charge. A subcommittee will be formed to determine the route and duration of each phase of the yatra. The party believes that elections are approaching in 100 days and wants to accelerate its campaign.
During the meeting, the party strategist, Sunil Kanugolu, presented a 30-minute power point on the bus yatra and the five key issues that party leaders should address. These issues include providing gas cylinders for Rs 500, creating two lakh jobs, waiving farmers’ loans up to Rs 2 lakh per farmer, and providing Rs 5 lakhs for constructing houses.
Other topics discussed were BC declaration and minority declaration. The party is also working on five more declarations, including SC-ST declaration, OBC declaration, women declaration, BC declaration, and minority declaration.
A public meeting will be held on August 30 in Mahabubnagar, where AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi will speak. Jupally Krishna Rao, who recently left BRS, will join the Congress party at this event.
In the meantime, followers of party senior leader Ponnam Prabhakar protested at Gandhi Bhavan because he was not included in any committees. Thakre and other leaders have spoken to Prabhakar and promised to resolve the issue soon.
