Work for party for next 100 days: TS CM to Cong functionaries

Mumbai: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Thursday exhorted Congress functionaries to work for the party for the next 100 days so that it can form government at the Centre. Speaking at a rally in Nagpur to mark the 139th foundation day of the Congress, he said the next 100 days are crucial for the party and the country. Lok Sabha polls are to be held sometime in the first half of 2024. “Inform your family members that you are taking leave and working for the party so that a Congress-led government can be formed at the Centre,” Reddy said.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Telangana CM said, “Every medicine has an expiry date. Similarly, Narendra Modi’s medicine will not work in the country anymore.” What the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party calls a “double engine government” is actually “Adani-Pradani (play on the word pradhan and adani to describe the PM),” he claimed. “One day, Rahulji (Congress leader Rahul Gandhi) spoke about (industrialist Gautam) Adani in the Lok Sabha and the Adani engine developed a problem and had to be taken to the shed (workshop). Same will be the future of Pradani as well,” he alleged.
