Hyderabad: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is expected to address a public meeting in February. The theme of the meeting will be 'Constitution Khatre Mein Hai' (The Constitution is in Danger). It will take place either in Suryapet or Khammam during the first or second week of the month.
This decision was made during a meeting chaired by Congress general secretary K C Venugopal. Several senior state leaders attended, including Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, PCC chief Mahesh Goud, and other ministers such as Ponnam Prabhakar, Seetakka, Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Damodar Rajanarasimha, and Konda Surekha.
During the 90-minute discussion, Venugopal reviewed the party’s performance over the past year. The review included evaluating ministers’ roles, promises made and fulfilled, and the progress of pending guarantees. Concerns were raised about poor coordination among party leaders, particularly in responding to opposition criticism of the Chief Minister.
Venugopal urged party leaders to work together and focus on unity to effectively counter the opposition. He stressed the importance of collective efforts to strengthen the party’s position.
The meeting also discussed filling vacant nominated posts, such as chairpersons for various corporations. Leaders deliberated on the need for cabinet expansion and restructuring the TPCC executive committee.
These steps are seen as essential preparations for the upcoming MLC elections. Venugopal also sought Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s suggestions for potential candidates to fill these positions.
