Congress Janahita padayatra faces urea shortage and rain hurdles

Fearing backlash from farmers over the urea crisis and from residents affected by recent rains, the Telangana Congress seems to have postponed the next phase of the Janahita padayatra.

Ever since the Janahita padayatra was launched on July 31, it has been plagued with issues. Initially, it was announced that AICC incharge Meenakshi Natarajan would take up the padayatra.

After the ego clashes, the padayatra commenced and continued till August 4. But it was suspended abruptly as the State cabinet and Congress legislators headed to New Delhi to stage a dharna at Jantar Mantar seeking approval for 42 per cent reservations to BCs
