Muslim youth of TRS, CPI join Congress

Khammam: As many as 100 members of youth belonging to Muslim community from the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) and Communist Party of India (CPI) joined the Congress party here in Khammam on Thursday.

District president of the Congress party Aitham Satyam welcomed the youth leaders into the party fold. Speaking on the occasion, Satyam said under the leadership of newly-elected All India Congress Committee president Rahul Gandhi, the party was going to get back the lost glory.
