Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president Ponnala Lakshmaiah on Thursday announced that the Telangana Government would take all measures to encourage and help the labourers, farmers and working class.
Addressing the May Day celebrations at Gandhi Bhavan here, Ponnala said that the Congress party had always supported the labourers and working class and the new government of Telangana would ensure that their interests were safeguarded in the new State. He said the stability of any State lies in the welfare of labourers, farmers and working class groups. He said these sections would have no complaints with the Congress Government, which he claimed would be formed after the declaration of results.
Speaking on the occasion, AICC General Secretary said that Congress president Sonia Gandhi represents labourers while BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi represents the rich and elite. While the Congress wants to empower the labourers, Modi was planning to increase the wealth of already rich industrialists. Therefore, he said the labourers and working class would vote in favour of Congress party in the ongoing general elections.
Digvijay Singh admitted that the schemes launched by former Chief Minister Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy helped the labourers and working classes.
As many as 56 INTUC leaders were also felicitated on the occasion. (INN)
