AICC general secretary and Telangana Congress in-charge Manikrao Thakre has clarified that there is no truth in the speculation that Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar will be the in-charge for Telangana elections.
The Congress would utilise the services of Shivakumar at the time of the election campaign in Telangana just as Congress Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of other States would come to the State to bolster and strengthen the party prospects, he said.
Addressing a media conference at Chandanapalli in Nalgonda constituency along with CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka on Sunday, Mr. Thakre said that the People’s March of CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka succeeded in strengthening the Congress and energising the party cadre and giving confidence to people.
