Congress Leaders Perform ‘Ksheera Abhishekam’ At Charminar To Honour Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy

Hyderabad, July 21: Congress leaders performed the ‘Ksheera Abhishekam’ (anointing with milk) to the portraits of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu at Charminar on Sunday. The gesture was to express gratitude for the waiving of crop loans.

Senior Congress leaders, including Charminar Incharge Mujeebullah Shareef, Bahadurpura Incharge P. Rajesh, General Secretary Ch. Srinivas and all block and division presidents participated in the event.

Despite continuous rains, Congress leaders gathered at the historic Charminar to pour milk on the portraits of Rahul Gandhi and Revanth Reddy and distribute sweets to the public.

Speaking to the media, Waliullah Sameer highlighted the significance of waiving crop loans amounting to Rs 31,000 crore for nearly 40 lakh farmers, calling it a historic occasion achieved within eight months of coming to power. “Congress delivered what it promised in its election manifesto. Just like waiving crop loans, the Congress government will fulfill all the promises it made to the people,” he stated.

Sameer emphasized the multiplier effect of waiving crop loans, stating that relieved farmers would now have access to fresh loans from banks. Additionally, they would receive investment support through the Rythu Bharosa scheme, which provides Rs 15,000 annually. The Congress government’s assurance to purchase the entire produce at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) would benefit farmers, leading to prosperity and ensuring a stable supply of agricultural produce in Hyderabad and other towns, preventing shortages and inflation.

He praised Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for prioritizing the waiving of crop loans and reiterated the government’s commitment to fulfilling all promises made to the people, including those in the Old City of Hyderabad. Sameer mentioned the announcement of a Rs 1.50 lakh crore investment for the development of the Musi Riverfront, which would boost economic activities and benefit Old City residents. He also noted that the Metro Rail project in the Old City would become a reality under the Congress government, with the foundation stone already laid and work commenced.

Sameer highlighted the welfare schemes launched by the Congress government, benefiting the poor in the Old City. He cited examples of free travel for women in RTC buses, gas cylinders for Rs 500, and free power for up to 200 units for thousands of households.

The Hyderabad DCC President mentioned the upcoming issue of new ration cards by the Congress government and assured that Hyderabad DCC leaders would assist people in availing all the benefits of these schemes. He urged citizens to avoid middlemen and approach Congress leaders directly for help or assistance. (Hydnow)
