Revanth Reddy said during his transit visit to Hyderabad on Monday, Rahul Gandhi had confirmed the participation of Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. “Right now, she is busy in the election campaign in Karnataka and should visit Hyderabad for the rally before returning to Karnataka,” he said.
This will be the first-ever rally to be addressed by Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Telangana. She never attended any meeting of the Congress in the state.
The party leaders will pay tributes to the statue of Srikantha Chary. He had sacrificed his life by resorting to self-immolation at LB Nagar for the sake of separate Telangana state in 2009, and then go in a procession to Saroornagar where the public meeting will be held.
“We shall explain what the Congress is going to do for the youth after coming to power at the centre and in the state. All unemployed and student unions would participate in the protest rally,” the PCC chief said.
Revanth Reddy also announced that a protest rally would be organised at Mahatma Gandhi University in Nalgonda on April 21 on the issue of unemployment and Telangana State Public Service Commission paper leakage.
“Similar protests would be organised at Khammam on April 24 and Adilabad on April 26,” he added.
The PCC chief said he would resume his padayatra in the name of “Hath Se Hath Jodo Yatra” starting from the Jogulamba district from May 9.
