Telangana Congress chief calls upon party cadre to gear up for GHMC elections

HYDERABAD: Telangana Congress president and Nalgonda MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy has called upon the Congress cadre to take inspiration from events like the Quit India Movement to launch agitations in democratic way to defeat the forces subjecting the people to atrocities and injustices.
He called upon the party cadre to gear up for elections to Greater Hyderabad and Warangal municipal corporations.
Speaking on the occasion of 78th anniversary of Quit India Movement at Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday, Uttam said the Congress has a rich history of launching successful movements to protect people's freedom and rights.
It was the Congress party which granted statehood for Telangana as it wanted the people of this region to prosper without any hindrance.
"KCR has ruined all the resources of Telangana and pushed the State in debts of over Rs. 3 lakh crore in the last six years. He is silent on Andhra Pradesh trying to divert 11 TMC water and is helping the AP government execute works on expansion of Pothireddypadu Head Regulator and construction of Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme which will deprive Telangana of 6.3 TMC of Krishna River water," he alleged.
He charged CM KCR of convening state cabinet meeting on August 5 only to create a reason to postpone the meeting of Apex Council to a later date so as to help AP government complete the tender process of both the projects.
He said that the farmers of South Telangana would suffer if AP goes ahead with its projects. However, CM KCR gave more importance to the new Secretariat than protecting the interest of Telangana farmers. He announced that the Congress party would expose KCR and fight against the injustices being done to the people of Telangana.
KCR Government has completely failed to handle the Coronavirus situation. He blamed the negligent attitude of CM KCR for the rise in the number of cases and deaths. He expressed concern over the spread of the deadly virus in rural areas and demanded that the State Government take measures on a war-foot to save people's lives.
The TPCC chief announced that condolence meetings for Nandi Yellaiah would be in Siddipet and Nagarkurnool on Monday. He said another virtual meeting on Zoom App would be held to condole the demise of Congress veteran Nandi Yellaiah.
