Congress MLA Seethakka today said that the "greatness" of her party was that it had "filled the stomachs of the poor" of the country.
Speaking to the media after paying tributes to those who had been martyred at the infamous Indravelli massacre, she claimed that unlike the Congress, which was "committed to furthering the cause of social justice", the TRS-led government of Telangana was one that was "cheating" the people of the state.
Likening the recent police attacks on tribals who were cultivating podu lands to the attacks of the British colonisers on Indians, the leader condemned the TRS regime for "ordering" the same.
The MLA then alleged that while the Congress had protected the rights of the tribals, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao was "taking away" the lands of the poor and the tribals to hand those same lands over to big corporates.
She also inspected the arrangements being made for the upcoming Dalit girijana dandora program to be organised by the Congress in Adilabad district.
Seethakka said that the Congress would launch its fight against the TRS regime from the historic Indravelli village and would draw inspiration from the Quit India movement.
She asserted that the party's fight against the government would continue until it was "defeated".
Her remarks come after TPCC head also raised
similar criticisms against the KCR government.
Some days ago, Reddy, after flaying the government for "neglecting" real issues of welfare, had announced, "Our party will honour the Dalits through a girijana dandora program that will begin on August 9 and will go on till September 17. It will be launched in the presence of 1 lakh people at Adilabad district's Indravelli village. The date for the launch is of special significance, coinciding with the start of the Quit India movement."
