Congress sold tickets

Warangal: Former SAAP Director and the Congress rebel nominee from Warangal East, Rajanala Srihari appealed to people not to entertain the outsiders, who are in the election fray. Speaking to media persons here on Monday, he said that Congress leadership deceived the loyal party workers. 

"Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President N Uttam Kumar Reddy sold party tickets to those leaders, who offered him crores of rupees.  "Uttam gave Warangal East ticket to Vaddiraj Ravichandra alias Gayatri Ravi even though the latter is an outsider to the constituency," Rajanala Srihari said. He accused the TPCC chief of carrying money bags that earned through selling tickets to parachute candidates to All India Congress Committee President Rahul Gandhi.

The Congress leadership ignored those, who worked for the party, he said. "Rahul said that B Forms will be sent to loyal and committed party workers but failed to do so as the leadership is more focused on giving tickets to affluent sections," he alleged.

He alleged that Telugu Desam, which has poll pact with the Congress, is trying to make Nara Lokesh as the Chief Minister of Telangana. The Congress is also expecting T Harish Rao to join its fold along with 40-odd MLAs.

During his campaign, Rajanala Srihari appealed to people to refuse the Congress official candidate, who hails from neighbouring district. Further he alleged that Telangana Jana Samithi chief Prof Kodandaram has also lost his credentials by joining hands with the Congress. 

Brahmadevara Ramakrishna, Bandla Surender, G Yadagiri, K Srinivas, M Kamal, N Prabhakar and Maheshwaram Shobhan were among others present.
