Manickam Tagore invokes Telangana’s self-respect, sets 79-seat target in 2023 polls
Description
HYDERABAD: Seeking to invoke the ‘self-respect’ of the people of Telangana, AICC general secretary in charge of Telangana Manickam Tagore on Friday called upon the people to prove to the ruling TRS that they cannot be bought over with Rs 2,000 per vote. “CM K Chandrasekhar Rao thinks he can buy your self-respect with Rs 2,000 per vote. Prove to them that your self-respect cannot be purchased with money,” Tagore said, addressing a gathering at Sangareddy where he launched ‘Kisan mazdoor bachao diwas,’ a state-wide protest of Congress against the three farm laws. The money earned through commissions from escalated prices of project contracts is being spent to buy the self-respect of Telangana people. “In the last five years, KCR family has become richest in Telangana. Even the washroom being used by KCR family is costlier than the price of a 2BHK unit being constructed by the government for the poor,” Tagore said. Tagore also set a target ‘vision 2023’ to the rank and file of the party. “We have 37 months before December 2023 polls. Work hard to win at least 79 of the total 119 seats,” he added.
