”Subsequently, on the historic occasion of Telangana National Integration Day, we will hold a Mega Rally near Hyderabad, where we will announce the 5 Guarantees for Telangana,” he said.
After the rally, the Congress president will flag off the cavalcade for all CWC members, invitees, PCC chiefs and CLP leaders to visit each of the 119 Assembly constituencies of Telangana.
On 18 September, apart from sitting MPs, all leaders will hold a ‘Karyakarta (workers)’ meeting and conduct door-to-door distribution of the ”chargesheet” against the BRS government in Telangana. After lunch, they will interact with local influencers. The event will culminate with a march to a prominent statue of Mahatma Gandhi, BR Ambedkar or Komaram Bheem in the constituency.
”We are geared up for every fight! Make no mistake, the Congress is unstoppable!” Venugopal said.
The Congress chief last month named the new CWC which has a total of 39 leaders, including Shashi Tharoor, Rahul Gandhi, Sachin Pilot, Adhir Ranjan Choudhary, Jairam Ramesh, Naseer Hussain, Alka Lamba, Supriya Srinate and Pawan Khera, among others.
