The deeksha will begin at 10 am on Tuesday and end at 5 pm on Wednesday, and is being observed as part of the Dalit, Girijana Atma Gourava Dandora. The party aims to build on the successes of the first and second dandora meetings at Indravelli in Adilabad and Raviryala in Chevella Parliamentary constituency with the deeksha.

Dalit and Girijan leaders visited Muduchintalapalli village on Monday to oversee arrangements for the deeksha, which includes rain protection for the dais..

Speaking to reporters, Congress senior leaders said that Revanth Reddy is fighting for downtrodden. “The dandora meetings were more successful than we expected,” they said. The Chief Minister has failed to fulfil his election promises of giving three acres of land for SCs, double bedroom houses and government jobs for each household, they criticised.

Congress leaders said that Revanth Reddy got inspiration from Indira Gandhi to work for the uplift of Dalits and Girijans. They called upon all sections to make a grand success of the dandora programmes.
