As local body elections are nearing in Telangana, the Congress government's welfare outreach, such as ration card distribution, Indiramma House allotments, and the Janahita Padayatra, is facing public backlash due to delays, and irregularities. Citizens in rural and urban areas are expressing dissatisfaction, with some resorting to protests.
TPCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud announced that the Janahita Padayatra will resume after August 23. Dismissing rumours of a rift with CM Revanth Reddy, he claimed a BC leader would be Telangana’s next CM and defended the padayatra’s popularity
The Congress’ Janahita Padayatra, led by AICC in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan, remains stalled with no clarity on its resumption. Internal disagreements and shifting leadership roles have added to the uncertainty, leaving party workers anxious over the programme’s future.
A political programme in Kamareddy turned chaotic when supporters of Congress leaders Pocharam Srinivas Reddy and Enugu Ravinder Reddy clashed publicly during the Janahita Padayatra. The altercation, which occurred in front of Minister D. Anasuya, highlighted ongoing tensions between the two factions.
The Telangana Congress has launched the Janahita Padayatra, a statewide outreach campaign aimed at gathering public feedback and reinforcing grassroots connections. TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud said the initiative follows AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge’s directive for leaders to stay engaged with the people.
