APCC chief dares Jagan Mohan Reddy to drop ‘YSR’ and ‘Congress’ from party name

Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gidugu Rudra Raju on December 15 (Friday) said the party would, over the course of the next 70 days, implement its poll strategy which has been meticulously designed at the party’s three-day political affairs and coordination committee meetings.

From January 20, the party leaders and cadres would take up a door-to-door campaign under its ‘Intinta Congress’ initiative, he informed at a press conference. He said the All-India Congress Committee (AICC) centenary celebrations would be organised in Kakinada on December 29 as part of the party’s foundation day (December 28).

He said the mood is upbeat in the party as it is gearing up for extensive canvassing with active support from the party leadership, including AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge and leaders Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi who were scheduled to visit the State and address public meetings at different places.
