Congress leaders in AP and the Telangana states have become active again. They took different issues to retain their lost glory and to keep their party intact. Telangana Congress leaders are aiming their guns on the ruling TRS government and the AP Congress leaders are aiming both on the state and central governments simultaneously for this purpose.

T-Congress leaders have picked local issues like shifting of chest and mental care hospitals and making hue and cry over the government’s decision. Their counterparts in the AP state are drawing swords on the state government over land acquisition for the capital city. Simultaneously, they are kick starts an agitation demanding the central government to implement all promises made in the AP Reorganization Bill, including granting of special status to the state. They have also launched a statewide one crore-signatures’ program for it.

APCC President Raghuveera Reddy speaking on this occasion at Nellore city yesterday has declared that state Congress leaders will conduct ‘Chalo Delhi’ program on February 23rd to stress the Modi government to fulfill all the promises made in the AP Reorganization Bill. He said party Chief Sonia Gandhi and other leaders also will join them in the meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Although, Congress leaders appear to be fighting for a noble cause, Raghuveera Reddy’s statement categorically reveals their intentions behind all this hue and cry is something else. He admitted that this program has helped the party to reunite again. Hence, the purpose of their hue and cry is not for the sake of the people or the state interests but to save their dying Congress party.
