With huge expectations from the Bharat Jodo Yatra of Rahul Gandhi, the Telangana Congress has sought changes in the route map in the state to ensure that the walk covers the central part of Telangana rather than the districts abutting the neighbouring Karnataka.
As per the original plan drafted by the All India Congress Committee, Mr. Gandhi is supposed to enter Telangana on October 24 to cover 366 km. However, the TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy has now sought some changes in the route so that the Gandhi scion can touch north Telangana districts like Adilabad and Nizamabad apart from central part areas like Rangareddy and Nalgonda districts before entering Maharashtra.
The new route suggested will add 30 km to the already planned 366 km and Mr. Gandhi may have to spend an additional two days. The yatra will enter the State in Makthal in Mahabubnagar district from Raichur in Karnataka. The Telangana Congress plans a massive public meeting at the border on the Telangana side just beside river Krishna.
