HYDERABAD: Congress has deferred its decision to hold a Dandora public meeting in chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s Gajwel assembly constituency on Tuesday. Instead, the party is organising a two-day Dalita Girijana Atma Gaurava deeksha in the CM’s adopted village of Mudu Chintalapalli in Medchal Malkajgiri district on August 24 and 25.
A section of the party leaders wants the public meeting to be organised at a later date. They said the party is not a strong force in Gajwel and nearby Siddipet and Dubbak constituencies. “Any failure to make the Dandora public meeting in the CM’s constituency a success will have a lasting impact on the party and also affect the morale of party workers,” a leader said.
The functionary said that the public meeting in Gajwel should be organised with a well-planned strategy by the party top guns to make it a grand success instead of rushing ahead with it and “making a fool of themselves.”
However, some leaders said the party should go ahead with its August 24 Dandora meeting. “The morale of the rank and file of the party is on a high after the success of two Dandora meetings. If the party backs out at the last minute from holding the meeting in Gajwel, it will have a demoralising effect on the party cadre,” observed a senior leader.
It may be recalled Congress had announced that it will organise Dalita Girijana Atma Gaurava Dandora public meets in various assembly constituencies and held the first two Dandora meetings at Indravelli in Adilabad and Raviryala in Maheshwaram constituencies.
