Balanagar: Kukatpally Sr. Congress Leader and Former Corporator Gottimukkala Vengal Rao said that elaborate arrangements were being made by the Congress party to make the Bharat Jodo Yatra of AICC Leader Rahul Gandhi a grand success which is passing through Balanagar on October 2nd in Telangana State.

He was addressing a preparatory meeting in Balanagar on Sunday to discuss arrangements for Bharat Jodo Yatra in Kukatpally Constituency. The meeting was also attended by several Congress leaders and others were present. After the meeting, the Congress leaders inspected the entire route from Balanagar to Miyapur.

Speaking on the occasion, Vengal Rao said that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra, which began on the 7th of September, would cover over 3,500 kilometres in 12 States and 2 union territories from Kanyakumari to Kashmir. He said Rahul Gandhi’s yatra would enter Telangana on 23rd October. 

He said Rahul Gandhi, through Bharat Jodo Yatra, has been raising a voice against the politics of division, rising unemployment, and problems being faced by the farmers and other weaker sections.

The Congress leader said Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra was of huge significance for Telangana. He said it was Congress president Sonia Gandhi who turned the 60-year-old dream of Telangana into a reality. He said the Congress party gave a huge sacrifice by losing power in Andhra Pradesh and also in Telangana by bifurcating AP. However, Sonia Gandhi granted statehood to Telangana to stop youth from committing suicide and to undo the injustices done to the region in the past. Vengal Rao urged the Walker's association, Sr. Citizens association, students, employees, youth and everyone to be part of the yatra and make it a grand success
