Hyderabad: AICC secretary R.C. Khuntia said that the Congress was the only alternative to the Telangana Rashtra Samiti in the state. He said the Congress would certainly come to power in the 2019 elections.
Mr Shabbir Ali, Opposition leader in the Legislative Council, speaking to mediapersons, questioned Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao for his plan to float a Federal Front.
“When all political parties are coming together to protect secularism in the country, where has KCR’s secular policy gone,” Mr Shabbir Ali asked.
He alleged that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao was a “pseudo secular leader”.
He said that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao had not attended oath-taking ceremony of Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy as Karnataka Chief Minister last week because he had no guts to meet UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
He said that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao “sh-ivers” in front of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP national president Amit Shah. Mr Shabbir Ali claimed that nationwide Mr Modi's graph was coming down.
The Congress earlier in the day held a rally to protest the alleged failures of the Modi government.
