The Congress leadership, previously taking an advisory role against the BRS, is now preparing for full-scale political engagement next month. Their goal: securing victory in upcoming elections and launching an assertive campaign. This political drama will have its centre in Hyderabad, Telangana.
Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge have already travelled to Telangana state in an endeavour to strengthen the party through recruiting. A Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting, slated for September 16 and 17 in Hyderabad, will draw attention. Interestingly, the final day, September 17, coincides with the anniversary of Hyderabad State’s merger with India.
During these celebrations, Sonia Gandhi will be the chief guest and is expected to address the populace. Her speech is anticipated to revolve around Telangana’s formation, the sacrifices made for it, and the Congress’s pivotal role in this journey. Sonia is likely to criticize KCR’s stance on this historic occasion.
Simultaneously, the Telangana Congress is promoting the idea of a truce between BRS and BJP. They suggest that BRS might indirectly aid BJP in assembly elections, while BRS could reciprocate on the national stage through a secret agreement. On September 17, Congress leaders may address this purported secret pact between BJP and BRS as part of their agenda. The political stage in Telangana is heating up, with Hyderabad at the center of the action.
