KHAMMAM: Asserting that the Congress was definitely going to storm to power both in the State and at the Centre, TPCC campaign committee co-chairman Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy on Friday said that the days for BRS leaders to retire from politics are nearing.
Srinivasa Reddy was in Wyra where he welcomed leaders and activists from other parties into the Congress fold.“The Congress is united in Khammam. There are no groups in the party now. It is this unity that has given us strength,” the former MP said, adding that his only agenda was to topple the BRS from power.
He alleged that the BRS came to power twice by making false promises and words, but the people have now seen through its duplicity and are eagerly waiting for a chance to teach the Kalvakuntla family a fitting lesson.
