Upbeat Congress minority leaders to organise jalsas and street corner meeting to take Congress’s 6 guarantees in Old City of Hyderabad

The Old City of Hyderabad, once the bastion of the Congress and later conceded to its earlier political ally AIMIM, can now hardly boast of any State-level or national-level leader apart from a strong vote base.

But the six guarantees of the Congress party seem to have infused the minority leadership, which wants to take these six promises to every household in the Old City with the slogan that 85% of the residents there will benefit from it. Lakhs of poor people residing in the Old City, particularly the women community are being targeted by the minority leaders of the Congress party.

There is hardly any scheme that would not impact a large number of women of the minority community, not just in Hyderabad but across Telangana, says Hyderabad District Congress Committee (DCC) president Sameer Waliullah. “The schemes announced by Ms. Sonia Gandhi will touch 85% of minorities, who are mostly from financially poor background,” he says.
