“I am unable to digest that I was not nominated to the political affairs committee while many juniors got the chance,” she said, adding that posts were not priority to her or her husband former MLC Konda Muralidhar Rao. She also said she felt sorry that no leader from Warangal district was included in the political affairs committee.

“However, I will be available to the people of the Warangal East and Parkal constituency, and will work for strengthening the party as an ordinary activist,” she mentioned.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge had on Saturday constituted the Political Affairs Committee under the TPCC and appointed AICC in-charge of Telangana and Congress MP Manickam Tagore as chairman.
