TPCC Celebrates Sonia Gandhi's 74th Birthday

TPCC President N Uttam Kumar Reddy today heaped praises on Congress national president Sonia Gandhi on the occasion of her 74th birthday.

Speaking at a gathering of party workers at Gandhi Bhavan, Reddy said that Gandhi was committed to the cause of the country, and had always worked for the people.

He also said that it was thanks to Gandhi that the people were able to realise their dream of separate statehood for Telangana, and claimed that she was solely responsible for the formation of the state.

"Sonia Gandhi is the one who fulfilled the 60-year-long dream of separate statehood for the Telangana region," he said.

Praising Gandhi's family members, too, Reddy said that they too had committed their lives to the service of the nation.

The party was holding several social service programs across the state in honour of Gandhi's spirit of service and her commitment to the people, the Congress leader added.

The Telangana Congress came together, rank and file, to celebrate Gandhi's birthday at the party office, where the TPCC chief cut a cake in the presence of the other leaders of the party including Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and former TPCC chief Ponnala Lakshmaiah.

The party also distributed sarees to women on the occasion.
