In a way, Mr. Gandhi’s presence at the meeting in Telangana will be seen as his stamp of approval for the ongoing process that was taken up to collect the data for finalising reservations in the local body elections in Telangana.
Mr. Gandhi is a strong votary of the caste census in the country and has been propagating the idea in his meetings across the country.
Mr. Mahesh Goud said that the Congress party was for the distribution of wealth according to the ratio of the population as it will also ensure that the wealth reaches the ignored sections. He said the meeting on November 5 was a result of Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and his decision to take the views of intellectuals, student leaders and leaders of caste associations. He asked every Congress worker to be part of the ongoing survey.

Rejecting BJP Legislative Party (BJPLP) leader Maheshwar Reddy’s comments on the term of Chief Minister, he ridiculed it as a fantasy of Mr. Maheshwar Reddy. Mr. Revanth Reddy will complete his full term and it was better for Mr. Maheshwar Reddy to realise his position and respect in the BJP party.
