He said that the Congress recently fought the assembly elections in Karnataka against a corrupt and anti-poor government and we defeated them with the support of the poor, OBCs, minorities and the oppressed in the state.
“Something similar is going to happen in Telangana as well. On one side there will be rich and powerful people of the state and on the other side we will have poor, tribals, minorities, farmers and small shopkeepers. What has happened in Karnataka will be repeated in Telangana,” Gandhi he said.
The Congress leader said that earlier it was said that there is a triangular fight in Telangana between TRS (Telangana Rashtra Samithi which is now BRS), Congress and BJP.
“But BJP doesn’t exist in Telangana. All their four tires are punctured. Now it is a fight between Congress and BJP’s B-team,” he added.
Referring to the recent efforts to unite the opposition against the BJP for the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Gandhi said, “We told other opposition leaders that if TRS attends the meeting, Congress will not attend it, Congress TRS Can’t share the stage with.
Over a dozen opposition parties recently met in Bihar’s Patna to forge a united front against the BJP and will soon meet again in Bengaluru. BRS and some other non-BJP parties are not part of this group.
Gandhi also described Congress workers as “Babbar lions” and the “backbone” of the party. “With your support, we can defeat the BRS as we did in Karnataka,” he told party workers.
“During the Bharat Jodo Yatra, we got huge support from here (Telangana) and I want to thank all of you for that,” he said.
The Congress leader said, “During the visit, we talked about uniting the country. On the one hand we follow the ideology of uniting the country and the other side is trying to divide the country.”
“The whole country supported the yatra and said that they will not allow hatred in this country. Khammam has always supported Congress because it believes in our ideology. I welcome the leaders who have joined Congress today. But most importantly, I want to thank the party workers, who are like our Sher (Babbar Sher).”
He told party workers, “BRS attacked all of you but none of you got scared.”
