PCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud urged CPI, CPM and TJS to back the candidature of Congress candidate in the upcoming Karimnagar - Nizamabad - Adilabad - Medak Graduates constituency.

Urging the leaders to stay united and ensure the defeat of communal party like BJP in MLC polls, the PCC chief sent letters to CPI state secretary and MLA Kunamneni Sambhashiva Rao, TJS president and MLC, Prof Kodandaram, CPM state secretary John Wesley on Wednesday. He stated that the defeat of BJP would also ensure crushing the BRS party, which ruled in an autocratic manner during its tenure.
