Indicating that the Congress party would launch its nationwide election campaign from Hyderabad, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi would announce the welfare guarantees to the people from the public meeting at Tukkuguda on April 6 or 7.
Mr. Reddy said Congress came to power with the innovative welfare schemes announced by Sonia Gandhi at the same venue before the Assembly elections and it was the turn of the party to return to power in the country. The party is making arrangements to show its strength with a massive public meeting.
