Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president Ponnala Lakshmaiah alleged that both Bharatiya Janata Party and Telangana Rashtra Samithi have disappointed the common people who voted for them in last elections.
Ponnala announced that the Congress party would strive hard to expose the failures of both BJP-led Central Government and TRS Government in Telangana. Speaking after hoisting the party’s flag on the occasion of 130th Congress Formation Day at Gandhi Bhavan here on Sunday, he said that the Congress party has always served the people, irrespective of whether or not it is in power or not. He said that the Congress had accepted the people’s verdict given in last election and have been playing the role of a constructive opposition. However, the ruling BJP and TRS have failed to perform up to the expectations of people and misled them.
The TPCC chief claimed that it was the then Congress Government which granted statehood for Telangana. However, the TRS came to power after exploiting the people’s sentiments and now the entire government has been turned into a family affair. He asked the party workers to expose the failures of Central and State Governments and stay in touch with the people to understand their problems.
CLP leaders K Jana Reddy and D Srinivas, APYC President and MLC K Vamshichander, Rajya Sabha MP V Hanumanth Rao, MLA DK Aruna, MLC Ponguleti Sudhakar Reddy, TPCC Seva Dal president T Janardhan Reddy and others leaders were also present. (INN)
