Rahul stamp on Chintan Shivir

Telangana Congress is laying its roadmap for the next elections that suits the thinking of former AICC chief and Parliament member Rahul Gandhi and it is reflected in the party’s decision to announce the candidates’ names six months before the elections and focus on strengthening the farmers financially and psychologically with a slew of sops.

The resolutions passed after the two-day discussions at Chintan Shivir on the outskirts of the city reflect what Rahul Gandhi revealed at the Warangal Declaration. Announcing the candidates’ names six months before the elections was what Rahul Gandhi promised apart from attracting the sections like SCs and STs that are slowly moving away from Congress.

A major decision of the two-day meeting was to organise exclusive public meetings, like the one held in Warangal for farmers, focussing on the issues related to SCs, Sts, Women and Youngsters. The discussions viewed seriously how the youngsters were not in its kitty and decided to focus on attracting this segment towards the party.
