After Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra was getting good response from people even in the BJP-ruled Karnataka. In Telangana, the yatra would commence on October 24 and cover 360 km in 21 days, he said.

“The BJP and TRS are two sides of the same coin. This is not the time for BRS but for VRS,” Jairam Ramesh said.

The Congress party, if voted to power at the Centre in 2024, would accord Special Category Status to Andhra Pradesh, he said. “We will stand by the commitment made to Andhra Pradesh during State bifurcation in 2014” Jairam Ramesh added.

Earlier in the day, former MP Madhu Yashki Goud claimed people in Munugode constituency would teach a lesson to the ruling TRS for failing to address several issues.
