Hundreds of Congress workers from Hyderabad on Monday held strong protest against the party’s policy of ignoring Hyderabad Lok Sabha constituency.
Nearly 300 workers stopped AICC Secretary (Telangana incharge) RC Kantala from boarding his car at Gandhi Bhavan. They alleged that unlike other constituencies, the Congress party has completely ignored Hyderabad Lok Sabha candidate. They said that no party fund was provided to candidates of Hyderabad Lok Sabha and other Assembly constituencies falling under it. They asked Kantala to make it official if the party was having any tie-up with the MIM.
The Congress workers threatened to quit the party if it continues to show discrimination towards those representing Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat. They got angry when Kantala offered to speak to Greater Hyderabad Congress President Danam Nagender over the issue. They said that Nagender was hand-in-glove with the MIM. (INN)
