Congress plans Dandora in Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao’s turf Gajwel

HYDERABAD: Congress is likely to organise its Dalita Girijana Atma Gaurava Dandora public meeting in Gajwel, the constituency represented by TRS president and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in the assembly.
Congress sources said the meeting might be held on August 24, which would coincide with start of BJP state president Bandi Sanjay’s pada yatra.
Telangana Congress working president J Geeta Reddy has been made in charge to monitor the arrangements for the meeting. The party has zeroed in on the venue beside Housing Board office in Gajwel for the public meeting.
The first Dandora meeting of Congress was held at Indravelli in Adilabad district. The next meeting is scheduled to be held at Raviryala in Maheshwaram assembly constituency on August 18. The Dandora in Gajwel would be third in the series.
In a separate development, TPCC president A Revanth Reddy on Monday said chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would dump Dalits as well as Dalita Bandhu scheme after the by-poll to Huzurabad constituency.
“CM KCR had promised that 125-foot Ambedkar statue would be installed at Lower Tank Bund, three acres would be distributed to each landless Dalit family, KG to PG free education and the list of promises which have remained unfulfilled is long. How can anyone trust KCR?” Revanth asked.
As part of Congress programme to beat drums (funeral drum beat) in front of the residences of TRS MLAs to exert pressure, the drum would also be played in front of KCR’s residence, the Congress chief said.
