Sonia Gandhi will visit TS, AP soon: VHR

Rajya Sabha MP V Hanumantha Rao on Monday informed that AICC President Sonia Gandhi would soon visit Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to participate in different programmes.

Speaking to media persons at Assembly Media Point here, VHR said that the Congress president has directed the party cadre to launch a massive campaign against the anti-people and anti-farmers policies of Central Government. She proposes to visit Telangana and AP to participate in different programmes to be organised by the local units. He hoped that the agitation programmes would rejuvenate the party cadre.

VHR said that the Congress party would expose Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi's inclination towards the corporate sector while resorting to anti-farmers measures. He said that the Land Acquisition Bill was aimed at dislodging the farmers while benefitting a few select corporate companies. He also warned AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu of severe protest if his government resorts to forcible acquisition of land from farmers for the new capital.
