Telangana Congress conducted ‘Bhoomi Puja’, a ritual performed in honour of Goddess Bhoomi Devi and Vastu to eradicate the ill-affects in the land, for its upcoming ‘Vijaya Bheri’ public meeting on September 17 where Sonia Gandhi will announce five guarantees for the people of Telangana, seeking their support in the ensuing Assembly elections.
AICC incharge for Telangana Manikrao Thakare, TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy, TPCC Campaign Committee Chairman Madhu Yaskhi Goud and DCC president Challa Narsimha Reddy performed the puja to start the process of cleaning up the land for its important public meeting, which the Congress says, will kickstart the poll campaign in Telangana.
The 100 acres of private land abutting the Outer Ring Road in Tukkuguda is owned by Congress leader Malreddy Ram Reddy and others, and the venue for the meeting is being named after Rajiv Gandhi. The party decided on the private lands after its failed attempts to get the Parade Grounds and also the LB Stadium within the city.
