Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is set to meet senior Telangana Congress (TRS) leaders, along with state AICC in-charge Manickam Tagore on Wednesday. The meeting will be held at Rahul Gandhi’s residence in the national capital. The leaders are likely to discuss the political situation in the state, as well as the recent issue of the 40-lakh digital memberships, as reported by news agency ANI.
This meeting comes a day after Rahul Gandhi and the ruling-TRS indulged in a war of words over the paddy procurement in the state. TRS leaders lashed out at the Congress leader and accused him of ‘shedding crocodile tears’ over the paddy recruitment.
Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday slammed the BJP and TRS government and accused them of ‘neglecting their responsibility’ of procuring paddy. “It is a shame that the BJP and TRS governments are neglecting their moral responsibility of procuring paddy produced by Telangana farmers and politicising the issue. Stop harassing farmers with anti-farmer activities and buy every grain produced in Telangana,” Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet in Telugu on Tuesday. He further added, “The Congress party will continue to fight on behalf of the farmers until every seed produced in Telangana is procured.”
