AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi will come to the State to take stock of the Congress. She will concentrate more on Congress affairs in the state, TPCC Campaign Committee Chairman Madhu Yashki Goud said on Friday.

Speaking to ‘The Pioneer,’ Madhu said that Priyanka is already keeping tabs on Congress affairs in TS “Telangana Congress leaders had requested Priyanka in September to keep an eye on the party in TS.

She assured Congress leaders that she is always ready to meet party leaders from Telangana so that they can air their grievances. I don’t know what position the party will give her to supervise Congress affairs in TS. Whether it is AICC general secretary in-charge or observer or something else, we wanted her to take charge of the party in Telangana. Priyanka is a ‘national’ leader and Star Campaigner of the party. She will look after party affairs in Karnataka and Telangana following a request of leaders from both States,” Madhu said. Congress leaders are happy with the success of Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra. But it is disappointed with the Munugode by-poll result in which the party lost its deposit. Madhu said that a discussion was held by the party’s leadership about this.

The TS unit would conduct a review in the presence of the AICC in-charge very soon. Madhu said the party would discuss the situation in the Telangana Congress including the Munugode by-poll loss in the presence of Priyanka, AICC General Secretaries KC Venugopal and Manickam Tagore.
