AICC general secretary K.C. Venugopal’s recent message to Telangana State Congress leadership emphasized the urgent need to capitalize on the weakened state of the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and focus on countering the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). During discussions in Hyderabad, Venugopal urged leaders to facilitate the entry of BRS cadres into the Congress fold, citing their disillusionment with the fading BRS.
He urged ministers and candidates to expedite these joinings, stressing the importance of embracing grassroots-level supporters seeking a political future. Venugopal placed responsibility on ministers to secure victories in their respective constituencies, advocating for intensified grassroots campaigning and the crafting of a new narrative against the BJP. Additionally, he urged constant monitoring of campaign efforts and prompt reporting of any shortcomings to the high command for necessary action.
