Engage at grassroots level: Tagore to cadre
Description
Hyderabad: The newly appointed AICC general secretary in-charge in Telangana, Manickam Tagore, said on Saturday that the only mantra for the party to come to power in the state in 2023 is to “connect with the people”. Addressing the core committee meeting on his first visit as the AICC general secretary, Tagore said that party leaders and cadre need to constantly stay in touch with people through awareness programmed at the grassroot level. To achieve the target of 2023 Assembly election, Tagore said, “teamwork, discipline and unity” among juniors, seniors and veterans at all levels is important. Taking a dig at chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, Tagore said that that the CM is choosing his words carefully while speaking about the three farm bills passed by the BJP government at the Centre. “No matter what, Congress will stand by the farmers and fight for their cause,” he said. The core committee also discussed ensuing elections to GHMC and Nizamabad constituencies and by-polls to two graduates’ MLC seats. Party seniors V Hanumanth Rao, Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Bhatti Vikramarka and TPCC chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy briefed Tagore on various issues concerning people and failures of ruling TRS.
