In an era when Congress faces criticism that young leaders are not encouraged, two candidates, who have worked their way up from the students’ wings National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and Youth Congress to the senior Congress team, have come into the limelight.
Chamala Kiran Reddy, the candidate from Bhongir Parliamentary constituency, and Ch. Vamshichand Reddy, the candidate from Mahabubnagar Parliamentary constituency, can claim to be the true warriors of the Congress, who are sweating it out to enter Parliament.
Mr. Chamala Kiran’s name gained traction with Union Home Minister Amit Shah targeting him as the ‘chamcha’ of Rahul Gandhi, during his public meeting in Bhongir on Thursday. Mr. Reddy hit back saying that he was proud to be associated with Mr. Gandhi, unlike BJP that has imported a candidate from BRS called Boora Narsaiah Goud, who has no connection with BJP.
