Huzurnagar, October 18(Maxim News): With just a day left for the end of campaign for Huzurnagar bye-elections, Congress senior leaders including Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, Working President A. Revanth Reddy, former LoP in Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir and other senior leaders stormed the streets of Huzurnagar with road shows which drew huge crowd in the entire route.
Uttam Kumar Reddy, Revanth Reddy and other leaders launched their road show from Jana Pahad after offering special prayers at Jana Pahad Dargah. They boarded an open-top campaign vehicle and addressed the corner meetings en route. Technically, all the meetings they addressed were corner meetings at Jana Pahad, Palakeedu, Nereducherla, Garidepalli, Burugaddda and Mathampally. But the size of gatherings at all these places was no less than massive public meetings. People displayed huge enthusiasms and energy in participating in those meetings. While all the streets were completely packed, a large number of people climbed on roof tops, walls and even trees to have a glimpse of their favourite leaders. They cheered for the leaders and shouted slogans in favour of Congress party and its leaders.
Addressing the meetings, Uttam Kumar Reddy said he was seeking votes for Congress candidate and his wife Uttam Padmavathi on the basis of his performance and achievements in Huzurnagar. He said every bit of development in Huzurnagar became a reality due to his efforts as the MLA since 2009. However, he said TRS was trying to lure voters with money, liquor and other incentives. He asked people to be cautious for the next three days to foil the attempts by ruling party to tamper with and manipulate the election process. He said he has full faith in the people of Huzurnagar and they would ensure the victory of Uttam Padmavathi with a huge majority.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the TRS leaders were shamelessly seeking votes despite not fulfilling a single major promise they made with the people in previous two elections. Crop loan waiver of Rs. 1 lakh, double bed room houses for poor, filling up of one lakh vacancies, unemployment allowance of Rs. 3,016 per month for jobless youth, three acres of land for Dalits, 12% reservation in jobs and education for Muslims and STs and innumerable other promises remained unfulfilled. He said Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao has turned so arrogant that he dismissed more than 48,000 RTC workers in a single stroke and even defied orders of the High Court to hold talks with employees to resolve their issues. He said it was KCR who nurtured crisis in the RTC by resorting to deliberate neglect so as to privatise the same to benefit his family members and friends. He said that the Congress party would continue to support the RTC workers till their justified demands are fulfilled.
Addressing the meetings, Revanth Reddy launched a scathing attack on TRS Government, especially CM KCR. He ridiculed the claims being made by TRS leaders stating that development would come if TRS wins Huzurnagar seat. He asked as to why there was no development in constituencies being represented by TRS MLAs. He said the development brought by Uttam Kumar Reddy in Huzurnagar was unmatched and incomparable. He asked people to reject TRS propaganda. He said KCR targetted senior leaders like Jana Reddy, Komatireddy Venkatreddy, Geetha Reddy, Damodar Rajanarasimha and others promising development in their constituencies if TRS win the elections. He said people fell prey to misleading tactics and voted for TRS in last elections in those constituencies. He said development has come to a standstill in those constituencies. Therefore, he said people should not make the mistake of trusting TRS again.
Revanth Reddy said that Huzurnagar bye-election were no ordinary by-polls. He said they were about the self-respect of people of Telangana. He said KCR escaped punishment for his mistakes, failures and arrogance. But now, the people of Huzurnagar got the opportunity to teach KCR a fitting lesson for his failed promises and cheating. Going by the people’s response to the campaign, he claimed that Uttam Padmavathi would register a historic victory with a huge margin.
Despite heavy rains in the evening, hundreds of people were seen waiting at the streets for the arrival of Congress leaders. Uttam Kumar Reddy, Revanth Reddy and other leaders will hold Road Shows on the last day of the campaign on Saturday. (Maxim News)
