The Forecast 2 years ago Congress

Telangana Congress decided to hold its public meeting at Tukkuguda on the outskirts of the city after the party failed to get permission from the authorities concerned for the two venues it had proposed — Parade Grounds and LB Stadium — in the heart of city.

The Telangana Congress opted to hold its public gathering at Tukkuguda on the outskirts of the city after failing to obtain clearance from the relevant authorities for the two venues it had offered — Parade Grounds and LB Stadium — in the city's core.

K.C. Venugopal, AICC general secretary (Organisation), who was in Hyderabad on Wednesday, finalised the Tukkuguda venue after inspecting several locations for the public meeting where Sonia Gandhi will announce five guarantees to be implemented in Telangana, kicking off the campaign for the Telangana Assembly elections in December this year..

Congress prepares a major show with lakhs of people, followed by a public gathering, with the entire nation's attention on the CWC meeting and the critical decisions it will make in light of the election year.

The State's three political parties — the Congress, the BJP, and the BRS — are fighting over how to commemorate September 17, which is a historic day for Telangana because it marks the day in 1948 when the Nizam surrendered to the Indian Army after originally refusing to join the Indian Union.

In Telangana, the day is observed as Liberation Day, but it has taken on political significance over the years, with several political parties referring to it as Integration Day and others as Merger Day.

During the Telangana movement, the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) asked that the government in the merged Andhra Pradesh mark it as the Liberation Day. However, after taking power, it chose to rename it National Integration Day because the word emancipation would convey the wrong message to certain communities.
