All for one: Congress activists participate in the 123rd foundation day celebrations in Sangareddy on Sunday.

SANGAREDDY: Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) general secretary and district party affairs in-charge K. Yadava Reddy on Sunday assured that priority would be accorded to party workers by the government.

Addressing the party workers after participating in human chain organised by the DCC at Sangareddy, Mr.Yadava Reddy so far party workers were not accorded priority by the government and the situation would change from now onwards. Referring to the proposed ‘Sanskshema Sambaralu’ programme from January 2 to 15, the Congress leader said that it was the responsibility of party workers to propagate details about the welfare schemes being offered by the State government.

DCC president T. Nandeeswar Goud, former MLA T. Jayaprakash Reddy, Mahila Congress president Nirmala Jayaprakash Reddy and others participated in the programme.

Secondary Education Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha at Andol, MLA P.Shashidhar Reddy at Medak, Sunita Lakhsma Reddy at Narasapur, Suresh Shetkar at Narayana Khed organised similar programmes.

Confidence

Adilabad Staff Reporter adds: A long human chain was formed on Sunday by Congress activists and workers in the district in connection with the party’s formation day. District Congress Committee president and Adilabad MLA C. Ramchander Reddy led his party men in the effort.

A party flag was hoisted in Shantinagar before the formation of human chain. Mr. Ramchander Reddy and Adilabad Municipal chairman Digambar Rao Patil were among the speakers who extolled the government for initiating various welfare measures.

Show of strength

Warangal Staff Reporter adds: Great pomp and show marked the Congress party’s 123rd foundation day celebrations here in the district.At every mandal headquarters and in tri-cities of Warangal, Hanamkonda and Kazipet, the Congress leaders competed with one another in mobilising people to show their strength. Those aspiring for the tickets in the next Assembly elections worked a bit more pulling more crowds to the prestigious programme of the party.

At the Congress Bhavan at Hanamkonda, the Major Irrigation Minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah attended the flag hoisting ceremony and administered the pledge to all the party leaders and cadre present there.

At Wardhannapet, party senior activist B. Judson of Kazipet who is aspiring for the ticket from this Constituency organised the party programme on grand scale thus exhibiting his organisational skills and public support in the area.

Poor response

Nizamabad Staff Reporter adds: There was a poor response to the Congress party’s call for forming the human chain to highlight schemes and programmes introduced by the party government in the State, across the district on Sunday.

Seeing the low turnout of the party workers and passive response from the people the Congress leaders took strains to move students to the main junctions to form the human chain. Party MLAs Bajireddy Govardhan, Akula Lalitha, S. Gangaram and B. Janardhan Goud participated in the human chain at Banswada, Mullangi, Pitlam and Nagireddypet respectively and the MLC R. Venkatrami Reddy took part here. Later, the leaders took the oath before the Gandhi statue saying that they would rededicate themselves for the popularising the Government’s schemes and programmes.

Welfare

Karimnagar Staff Reporter adds: The District Congress Committee celebrated the foundation day by forming human chains in various parts of the district on Sunday.

Government Whip and DCC president D. Sridhar Babu and APSRTC chairman M. Satyanarayana Rao, Markfed chairman Ponnam Prabhakar, and others launched the celebrations by garlanding the statue of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in Karimnagar town.

They also hoisted the party flag and cut the cake on the occasion.

Former DCC president T. Santosh Kumar, former legislator K. Satyanarayana Goud, Mahila Congress leaders N. Rama and others also participated.
