Freedom doesn’t mean crossing limits: Mahesh Goud

Mahesh Kumar Goud, the TPCC president, warned that anyone who crosses the line by criticizing the Congress or its leaders will not go unpunished. He emphasized that the Congress provided its members with democratic freedom to voice their opinions, but warned that this freedom did not imply that leaders could make arbitrary statements.

Goud suggested that party leaders with grievances should address their concerns through internal mechanisms within the party. He mentioned that the party has various committees in place to handle such issues, and if needed, leaders could even approach the All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary, K.C. Venugopal, in Delhi.

Regarding the disciplinary action taken against Minister Konda Surekha, Goud said that the matter is currently under review by the AICC Disciplinary Committee, and a decision will be made after its evaluation. He rejected any comparison between the Congress and the BRS and BJP parties, emphasizing that the Congress is not a dictatorial party, and its leaders are free to express their views.

Meanwhile, Minister Vakiti Srihari dismissed the need for conspiracies against the Endowments Minister, stating that the comments made by Surekha's daughter are detrimental to the party's interests. He asserted that everyone bears the responsibility of safeguarding the party and that action should be taken against anyone who oversteps the party's limits.
