Telangana PCC president Revanth Reddy today said that the party would achieve its 30 lakh membership target in Telangana.
He said that he had promised the national president of the party Sonia Gandhi that number.
He made these remarks after launching the digital membership drive of the party at Gandhi Bhavan along with AICC state in-charge Manickam Tagore and CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.
He said that enrolment into the party was nothing but becoming a member of the Congress family. It was the Congress that had broken the shackles of slavery of the country, and the party had made several sacrifices for the country, he claimed.
He also said that it was a matter of pride for all the members of the party that they were part of a party whose member Rahul Gandhi too was.
He added that those who took the membership would get a life insurance cover of Rs. 2 lakh.
Reddy also said that the party would launch training programs for the workers from the ninth of this month, and that they would also be part of a Jana Jagarana Yatra from November 14 to 21.
He added that the party would hold a massive public meeting on December 9, at Parade Grounds if the authorities allowed them. He said that party leader Rahul Gandhi would take part in the public meeting.
He also claimed that the state would have a Congress-led state government after the next Assembly elections.
CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka too said that the membership of the Congress was a matter of pride, and that the party had not only brought freedom to the country but also ensured its continuous development.
Party leaders Shabbir Ali, V Hanumantha Rao, G Chinna Reddy, Geeta Reddy, Mahesh Kumar Goud, MLA Jagga Reddy, Seethakka, Damodar Rajanarasimha, Madhu Yashki Goud and others also took part in the program.
