The Congress on Thursday (4 October) kick-started its Telangana election campaign from the town of Jogulamba, the place of the much worshipped Shakti Peetham of Telangana.
Jogulamba Temple is located in Alampur in the newly formed Jogulamba Gadwal district of Telangana. Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Chief N Uttam Kumar Reddy, the party’s Telangana in-charge RC Khuntia, campaign committee chief Bhatti Vikramarka, senior leaders DK Aruna, K Jana Reddy, Revanth Reddy and others were present on the occasion, as reported by Indian Express.
The campaign started with a pooja at 11 am, followed by a road show from the temple to Gadwal. The roadshow passed through Hyderabad-Bangalore highway at Alampur Cross Road and will lead to Gadwal via Shantinagar, Aiza. A public meet will be held in Gadwal in the evening.
“Congress leaders have already begun campaigning at all levels in most constituencies. The campaign will begin on an auspicious time with the blessings of Goddess Jogulamaba. We will later organise a roadshow followed by a public meeting in Gadwal,” said TPCC campaign committee chief Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.
