YS Sharmila did it. Bandi Sanjay did it. Now it’s the turn of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee chief Revanth Reddy to do it. Revanth Reddy on Saturday launched his padayatra from Chevella in Rangareddy district. This yatra is in solidarity with the padayatra that Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have taken up in UP.
But this padayatra is only for a distance of 10 km. From Chevella Centre to the Indira Gandhi statue in the same town. The yatra will be a prelude to a 15-day long yatra proposed to be organised from January 30. This yatra would have Cgress biggies like Rahul Gandhi, Digvijay Singh and Meenakshi Natarajan joining it at different stages.
Similar 10-km padayatras have been launched from Khammam by Bhatti Vikramarka. He would be joined by TPCC working president T Jagga Reddy. The Congress has decided to take out a padayatra on the issue of price rise and the policies of the Central Government. In addition, the yatra is aimed at breathing new life into the Cogress Party.
Meanwhile, Revanth Reddy is organising training programmes for the party workers in a big way. He is organising district level conclaves, where the party workers are being trained in ideological issues such as history of the Congress Party, its role in the Independence Movement and Nehru’s legacy. These training programmes would end by January first week and the party’s 15 day long padayatra will begin from January-ed.
