They vowed to work together in the forthcoming polls and to revive the Congress in the erstwhile Adilabad district, once considered its bastion.

The group said certain leaders of the party were projecting some others as the party’s official candidates from different Assembly constituencies, which was creating confusion among the public.

They regretted that their views were not considered. They also resolved to thwart efforts of a section of leaders who were trying to cash in on the polls by promoting new entrants.
