Congress continues tirade against TRS in Nalgonda

Nalgonda: District Congress Committee president Shankar Naik fired salvos on Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao for his 'undemocratic' ruling and termed the suppression of opposition voices an evil act.

On Tuesday, on the direction of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee, the Congress workers under the leadership of Shankar Naik staged a protest against merging of CLP with the TRS, before the district collectorate in Nalgonda.

Addressing the gathering, he said Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has been stabbing the democracy with his unethical attitude. "People will teach a lesson to the TRS leaders in near future," he said, adding that the Chief Minister and his son KT Rama Rao have been duping people with their honey-coated words and hollow promises.

"Ignoring the welfare of people and progress of the State, the ruling TRS is focusing wiping out of opposition parties by encouraging defections," he alleged.

Stating that Congress is a 150-year-old party, he said that party has a strong cadre in the State and will bounce back in forthcoming days.

"Congress will work on behalf of people of the State and will mount pressure on the government for necessary action on public issues and pending poll promises," he underlined.

After the protest, the Congress workers raised slogans against the Chief Minister and the State government and tried to enter the Collectorate. However, their attempt was foiled by the police.

Party Nalgonda town president Gummala Mohan Reddy, Municipal vice-chairman Burri Srinivas Reddy, ZPTC Vanguri Laxmaiah, MPP M Suman, party leaders J Ramesh, K Mallaiah, P Venkateshwarlu, A Subhash Yadav and a large number of party workers participated.
