KARIMNAGAR: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president, K Kesava Rao has called upon the party leaders to gear up for the bypolls and expose the misdeeds of TRS president K. Chandrashekhar Rao and his neglect of the Telangana region during his stint as Union Minister.

Addressing an impressive DCC general body meeting here on Thursday evening, the PCC president said that the success of the party candidate depends on the hard work and dedication of the party rank and file in the elections. He exuded confidence that the Congress would retain the Karimnagar Parliament constituency by defeating the TRS in the elections.

Poll promises

Reiterating that the Congress alone would secure statehood for Telangana by evolving consensus, he said that the Congress had fulfilled all its election promises and never betrayed the people. UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee have been stating that Telangana would be achieved through consensus with the support of all political parties.

He said that the Telangana Congress legislators were in the forefront to erase the backwardness of Telangana and take up the statehood issue even before the advent of TRS. The BJP which promised `one vote two states' had failed to constitute at least second SRC during its regime at the Centre.
