Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee has chalked out an action plan, named “Mission 31” to strengthen the party at grass roots level.
Releasing the action plan during a training programme, held at Raja Rajeswari Gardens in Secunderabad on Wednesday, the Congress leaders announced that as many as 3,750 activists would be deployed in each reserved Assembly segment to take the party message to the masses .
According to AICC Scheduled Castes cell chairman Koppula Raju, the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes communities had always stood by the Congress party and they constituted majority vote bank for the party in Telangana.
He said there are 31 Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Assembly constituencies in the State and even under the TRS wave in 2014, the Congress party could win six seats. But, unfortunately three of them had left the party and joined TRS.
Hence, the AICC has now come with a new action plan to strengthen the party at the grass roots level and would deploy 1,15,630 activists in 31 reserved Assembly constituencies across the State to regain the confidence of its traditional voters by the 2019 polls.
The TPCC has decided to constitute teams, known as Rahul Brigade, who would go from door to door in each polling booth area in every Assembly segment.
This brigade would collect information like caste equations in each village, the popularity of the Congress, the issues where Congress needed to focus attention on strengthening its base and at the same time would also take up a massive campaign to “expose the failures of the TRS government.”
TPCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy said he would soon take up Rahul Sandesh Yatra and would go round the State. The yatra would be sort of first round of campaign as he would not only explain the party programmes, but would also explain to the people what policies the party would make, if elected to power.
The focus would be on issues like farmers suicides, alleged corruption in programmes like Mission Bhagiratha and Mission Kakatiya and the recent land scam. He would also talk to the local people.
During the training, Congress Adivasi cell chairman and former Union Minister V Kishore Chandra Deo also participated and asked party leaders to tour vigorously all reserved segments, Scheduled Tribes Thandas and Dalit colonies in the next six months in order to win over STs and SCs back to party's fold.
