Congress leaders, led by Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) president Gidugu Rudra Raju, broke into celebrations at Andhra Ratna Bhavan here with the party winning the Telangana elections, on December 3 (Sunday).
They burst firecrackers and performed a ‘Palabhishekham’ to a giant-sized portrait of Rahul Gandhi. Women leaders and cadres danced to drumbeats in jubilation.
“The Congress victory in Telangana was a foregone conclusion. People were vexed with the BRS misrule and wanted a change. This victory will come as a shot in the arm for the party in Andhra Pradesh, as it will serve as a morale-booster for the party leaders and cadres,” said Mr. Rudra Raju pointing to the jubilant crowd around him.
