Congress launches 'Basti Bata' padayatra in Jubilee Hills

The Congress is set to roll out a special outreach campaign, ‘Basti Bata’, aimed at connecting with voters in the slum areas of the Jubilee Hills constituency ahead of the bypoll scheduled for November 11. 

The initiative, starting next week, will see ministers Tummala Nageswara Rao, Ponnam Prabhakar, and Gaddam Vivek, along with AICC Telangana in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan and TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud, undertaking padayatras across various slum localities. The



campaign will run for four weeks, leading up to the bypoll.

Under ‘Basti Bata’, senior Congress leaders will walk through the lanes of slum settlements, interact with residents, understand their problems, and assure them of prompt action once the bypoll concludes. 

They will urge voters to support the party’s candidate, V. Naveen Yadav, emphasising that his victory would strengthen the Congress government’s efforts to transform the constituency.
