Hyderabad: The TPCC called upon the TRS to reconsider its decision to support the NDA candidate Ramnath Kovind in the Presidential election. The TPCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that entire country would be in danger if a leader with communal mindset becomes Rashtrapathi.
Speaking after distributing 'Ramzan Ration Kits' among poor Muslims at Gandhi Bhavan on Sunday, Uttam said election of Ramnath Kovind would only aggravate the communal disharmony atmosphere in the country and those nurturing hatred on minor issues would get emboldened .
The TPCC president said that the Chief Minister should understand the implications of supporting Ramnath Kovind. He said that the TRS, which calls itself a pro-minority party, should restrain itself from supporting Konvind who practises RSS
ideology.
He said the UPA candidate Meira Kumar, who is also the former Lok Sabha Speaker, is the best candidate for the post of President. KCR should not forget the role played by Meira Kumar in the formation of Telangana, Uttam said.
The TPCC chief said that the Congress party, since independence, has remained committed for the welfare, security and development of minorities and it would continue this policy in future. He greeted Muslims on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr and hoped that the Eid would bring lot of joy and happiness for the country, especially Telangana.
Earlier, Uttam Kumar Reddy distributed 'Ration Kits' consisting of 5 kg rice, 1 kg sugar, 1 litre milk, 1 kg Sevaiyyan and dry fruits. The 'Ration Kits' were distributed at Gandhi Bhavan and also at Khilwat Grounds in the Old City.
The programme was attended by senior leaders including leaders of Opposition K Jana Reddy (Assembly) and Mohammed Ali Shabbir (Council), ex-Union Minister S Jaipal Reddy, ex-MP V Hanumantha Rao, Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Sashidhar Reddy, Danam Nagender, Gudur Narayan Reddy, Khaja Fakhruddin, Shaik Abdullah Sohail, Syed Nizamuddin, Mohammed Ghouse and other leaders.
