TPCC To Gear Up For Lok Sabha Polls
Hyderabad:Alleging that the NDA government has failed to live up to the expectations generated by BJP before the 2014 general elections, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee, on Tuesday, asked the partymen in the state to gear up for coming Lok Sabha polls to ensure the party's victory.
TPCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy, who held a teleconference with the party cadre, said that they should work for the victory of Congress to make party Chief Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister.
The TPCC has been holding meetings of various party committees since the last couple of days to prepare the party machinery for the electoral battle. The party is also accepting applications from leaders who aspire to contest the polls.
Congress leader in the legislature M Bhatti Vikramarka had indicated that the candidates for the Lok Sabha elections are likely to be finalised by the end of February.
Congress had contested the December seven Assembly elections in alliance with the TDP, CPI and the Telangana Jana Samiti (TJS). However, Congress managed to win only 19 among the total 119 seats.(PTI)
