The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) held a Sankalp Satyagraha at Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad to protest against the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi from the Lok Sabha. The protest was held following a call given by the All India Congress Committee (AICC). Senior leaders, including State party incharge Manik Rao Thakre, TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy, party MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, former Union minister Renuka Choudhary, and party MLA T Jagga Reddy, took part in the protest.
Revanth Reddy addressed the gathering and alleged that Rahul Gandhi was disqualified by the BJP government as it was not able to face him. He said that the party would declare an action plan to hold more protest programs across the state condemning the decision of the BJP Central government. He also stated that a discussion was going on about the resignation of all party MPs and they would follow the instructions of the AICC in this regard. Revanth made it clear that they would all resign from their posts en masse if the party high command asked them to do so.
MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy expressed his sadness over the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi and alleged that it was because he spoke about Industrialist Gautam Adani. He said that the BJP was scared of Rahul Gandhi as he would corner it in Parliament and added that the BJP leaders conspired and took steps for conviction of Rahul Gandhi in the criminal defamation case. He also stated that all the party MPs should resign from their posts if required and added that they would continue their fight until the decision of the disqualification was taken back by the Union government.
Former Union minister Renuka Choudhary announced that she was filing a case against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for calling her Soorpanaka. She said she was holding discussions with legal experts on the issue and mockingly asked as to which caste Soorpanaka belonged to. She also alleged that Narendra Modi was ignoring the south India of the country.
MLA Jagga Reddy alleged that Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as part of a conspiracy of BJP government at the Centre and added that the saffron party had resorted to such extreme step as it was not able to face their party leader. He made it clear that the family members of Rahul Gandhi had sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country.
