"When you dreamed about Telangana state, you thought people's rule would happen in the state. But it is now evident that the rule of one family is happening in Telangana. The whole control of Telangana state is in the hands of one family and corruption in the state is the highest in the country," Rahul Gandhi said in Bhupalpally while addressing congress workers during his 'Vijayabheri Yatra'.
