Rahul to participate in next phase Congress' bus yatra

Congress president Rahul Gandhi will participate in the next phase of the bus yatra being organised by the Telangana unit of the party which is likely to begin in the first week of August. Mr Gandhi is likely to address a series of meetings in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts. The date and venue is likely to be finalised in the next few days.

In the last three phases of bus yatra, TPCC chief N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has covered 40 assembly constituencies. The bus yatra was halted in June in view of Ramzan. Having completed other programmes pertaining to strengthening of organisation, the party has reportedly decided to resume the yatra next month.

Meanwhile, Mr Uttam Kumar Reddy, who was in Delhi to attend the Congress Working Committee meeting, met AICC Telangana in-charge R.C. Khuntia to discuss the party’s activities in Telangana.

Later, Mr Uttam and Mr Khuntia held a review meeting with AICC secretaries N.S. Bose Raju, Saleem Ahmed and Srinivasan Krishnan who have been assigned the task of supervising party activities in Parliamentary constituencies.

Mr Uttam Kumar Reddy also held a review meeting on the party's Shakti App with AICC data analytics head Praveen Chakravorthy who congratulated him on Telangana Congress entering the top-33 states with highest number of registrations.  While Rajasthan has registered 3.5 lakh workers on Shakti App, Chattisgarh got 95,000 and Telangana 58,000 registrations, Telangana was on third position.
