Welcoming the appointment of Ponnala Lakshmaiah and Dr. N Raghuveera Reddy as the chiefs of Congress Committees of Telangana and AP respectively, Congress senior leader Ch. Muthyam Reddy said that the Congress has proved that it is a pro-BC party.
Speaking to media persons, Muthyam Reddy said that the Congress High Command had picked the right candidates for the crucial job. He said that while Ponnala would have to lead the party into the elections amid celebrations of the formation of Telangana, Raghuveera would be handling the difficult task of reviving the party in the Seemandhra region. Both the leaders are capable of leading the party to victory in the ensuing elections, he said.
Muthyam Reddy said that both Ponnala and Raghuveera were honest towards the party and never scrambled for posts. "By recognising their services, the Congress has boosted the confidence level of the entire cadre in both Telangana and Seemandhra," he said.
He also expressed confidence that the Congress would form the next government in both the states. (INN)
