Andhra Pradesh Congress party decides to contest all seats in local body elections
The party’s PAC also decides to constitute a three-member committee to finalise possible alliances with the INDIA bloc, like-minded parties and organisations opposed to the BJP and NDA
The Political Affairs Committee of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee, chaired by P.V. Mohan, decided at their meeting held in Vijayawada that the party would contest all seats in the upcoming local body elections across both urban and rural areas in the State. The committee also formed a three-member committee to explore possible alliances with the INDIA bloc parties, as well as other like-minded parties and organizations opposing the BJP and NDA.
The Congress leadership announced plans to intensify their campaign for the inclusion of a separate column for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in the ongoing caste census, urging the BJP to fulfill Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assurance on the issue. The committee also addressed allegations of corruption related to the TDP and YSRCP regimes, particularly regarding mines, liquor, sand, land, and Public Distribution System (PDS) rice, while reviewing issues surrounding the implementation of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, including Special Category Status, the drought situation, and challenges faced by farmers.
The committee resolved to convene meetings quarterly and appointed a panel of senior Congress leaders to conduct daily briefings at the PCC office.
