The Congress Vijaya Bheri bus yatra in Telangana is continuing for the third day. MP Rahul Gandhi spoke in Jagityal and said that the upcoming election is a battle between the looters and the people. He criticized the ruling party, BRS, stating that all the looted money was going into the pockets of BRS leaders. He also accused BRS, BJP, and MIM of having a secret alliance, with MIM helping BJP win in various states.
During his speech, Rahul Gandhi promised that if Congress comes to power, they would establish three sugar factories and ensure a minimum support price for paddy. He also pledged to provide a support price of ₹12,000 to ₹15,000 for the turmeric crop. He questioned why Prime Minister Modi and Telangana Chief Minister KCR are not coming forward for caste enumeration and criticized the lack of funds allocated to Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in the budget.
Rahul Gandhi recalled that his Parliamentary membership was cancelled and he was made to leave his official residence. However, he said that BJP could not vacate him from the people’s hearts. He expressed his strong connection with Telangana people. He also mentioned that they would conduct the caste census after coming to power at the centre. According to him, a caste census is necessary to identify backward people and implement welfare schemes for them.
