Hyderabad, Oct 21: The Telangana Jana Samiti (TJS) has officially declared its collaboration with the Congress party in the forthcoming Telangana State Legislative Assembly (TSLA) elections scheduled for November 30.
TJS President, Professor Kodandaram, met with former All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi at V Park in Karimnagar on Friday, expressing their intent to contest the TSLA elections in unison with Congress as a demonstration of their commitment to a democratic Telangana.
During their meeting, Professor Kodandaram and Rahul Gandhi discussed the strategic approach to remove the ruling BRS party from power.
They have also planned another meeting with Congress leaders to finalize seat allocations, with more details expected to emerge after discussions with the state Congress leadership. Professor Kodandaram emphasized their primary goal of defeating the authoritative Chief Minister, KCR.
Professor Kodandaram further disclosed that the TJS was established with the primary objective of dismantling KCR’s authoritarian rule.
The Telangana Jana Samithi is reportedly eyeing constituencies such as Muthol, Ellareddy, Korutla, and Zaheerabad, where the Congress traditionally faces challenges, as part of their alliance, according to party sources.
