Telangana Congress protests denial of special trains to Delhi
The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) staged protests outside the South Central Railway office in Secunderabad on Wednesday. Party leaders, including TPCC President Mahesh Kumar Goud and State Cabinet Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, alleged that the central government and railway authorities are deliberately denying special train services to facilitate travel to New Delhi.
The protest aims to support the INDIA bloc’s ‘Vote Bachao Maha Rally’ scheduled for November 1 at Ramlila Maidan. The rally is intended to protest issues regarding democratic institutions, central governance, and electoral roll revisions. Following the demonstration, local police detained several participating leaders and cadres.
In response to the reported denial of train bookings, the Telangana Congress has arranged more than 100 buses to transport party workers and supporters to the national capital. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy previously indicated that between 10,000 and 15,000 workers from the state were expected to attend the demonstration.
