ADILABAD: The Adilabad district unit of Congress party has welcomed parties like the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), the Communist Party of India (CPI) and the CPI (Marxist) for any seat adjustments in the coming local body elections. Already some of the parties have sent feelers for sharing seats according to the Adilabad District Congress Committee president P. Ravinder Rao.

He told reporters here on Tuesday that his party would seek votes in the local body elections based on the success of programmes introduced by the Government during the last two years of its rule. He said all programmes especially those related to weaker section housing and employment guarantee were a success.

`Norms followed'

The DCC president criticised the Telugu Desam Party for indulging in false propaganda regarding Government schemes. He said the selection of Indiramma villages and wards in municipalities was done as per norms and there was no discrimination as alleged by the TDP.

Mr. Ravinder Rao revealed that he would lead a delegation of Congressmen to New Delhi on May 26 when the Congress president Sonia Gandhi was slated to meet the DCC chiefs of all places where the Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme was in progress.
