After success in Telangana, Congress wants Tukkuguda meeting to be another lucky one for the country

Revanth Reddy and a series of inspections by the ministers and review meetings almost every day to make it a grand success indicates the seriousness with which Congress party intends to showcase its popularity at the ‘Jana Jatara’ meeting at Tukkuguda on April 6.

The meeting venue is now being considered lucky by the Chief Minister as it was here that Sonia Gandhi launched the six promises to Telangana people if the Congress government was formed in Telangana. The massive crowds that gathered at the public meeting somewhat indicated the political fortunes that Congress was hoping for.
