After the meeting, party leader Rahul Gandhi addressed a public rally and announced six election promises for Telangana, including financial assistance and free travel for women on state buses. In addition, the party pledged gas cylinders for Rs 500.
Rahul attacked the ruling BRS in the state and claimed that Congress did not grant Telangana statehood for KCR and his family’s advantage. He also referred to the BRS as the ‘BJP Rishtedar Samithi’.
