Hyderabad, Jan 5, 2024 :- In a significant development, reports are emerging that Sonia Gandhi, a key leader of the Congress party, is poised to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from Khammam. Sources indicate that the state party’s top leaders have received official communication from the party headquarters, endorsing Sonia’s candidacy in Khammam. This news has sparked widespread interest, with state Congress leaders now focusing on preparations and arrangements as per the leadership’s directives.
The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) had previously passed a resolution in December, urging Sonia Gandhi to contest from Telangana. The resolution was reaffirmed recently, and Sonia Gandhi has reportedly responded positively. While the party had previously agreed in principle, the latest development clarifies the specific constituency where Sonia Gandhi will vie for a seat. Party insiders believe that Sonia’s candidacy in Telangana could yield positive outcomes in neighboring southern states like Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka.
Sources reveal that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, and other ministers will submit Sonia’s nomination papers. State leaders are contemplating organizing a large-scale public meeting, inviting Sonia Gandhi to connect with the electorate during the election campaign. If Sonia chooses to contest from Khammam, it would mark her second electoral foray in the south, having previously contested and won from Bellary in Karnataka.
Party strategists are optimistic that fielding Sonia in Khammam, a stronghold for the Congress, will bolster the party’s presence in the state. As the political stage is set, all eyes are on Sonia Gandhi’s campaign trail and the potential impact on the electoral landscape in Telangana.
