Congress will implement six guarantees to provide support to every family of Telangana after coming to power: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi's 3-day bus yatra in Telangana concluded in Armoor. He promised 6 guarantees to the people if Congress is voted to power, including ₹15,000/acre/yr to farmers, ₹12,000/yr to agricultural labourers, ₹500 bonus/quintal of paddy, Mahalakshmi, Indiramma Indlu, Gruha Jyothi, Cheyutha & Yuva Vikasam. He also vowed to conduct caste census to empower OBCs.

Continuing his tirade against the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), which he termed as ‘the most corrupt regime’ in the country, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reaffirmed his party’s commitment to implement six guarantees if voted to power, stating that they would provide support to every family in Telangana.

Mr. Gandhi concluded his first leg of the ‘Vijaya Bheri’ bus yatra at Armoor in Nizamabad district on Friday afternoon after covering eight Assembly constituencies in the State from October 18 to 20.

The bus yatra, which began at the historic Ramappa temple in Telangana’s north-eastern district Mulugu on October 18, traversed through Jayashankar Bhupalpally, Peddapalli, Karimnagar and Jagtial districts.

The Vijaya Bheri yatra by Mr. Gandhi received an overwhelming response in rural as well as urban areas all along its path in the erstwhile composite Warangal, Karimnagar, and Nizamabad districts, rejuvenating the rank and file of the party in the run-up to next month’s Assembly polls.

Earlier in the day, addressing a street corner meeting in Jagtial, Mr. Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the BRS, BJP and AIMIM, accusing them of having a ‘secret pact’ to defeat the Congress at the hustings.

“The Congress will trounce them, sweep the Assembly polls like a tidal wave, and deliver the dream of Bangaru Telangana,” he reasserted.

Invoking the Indira Gandhi-Rajiv Gandhi legacy, Mr. Gandhi struck an emotional chord with the crowd saying: “I share a family bond with you and vow to fulfil your aspirations.”
