HYDERABAD: ‘Latecomer’
Congress is finding it difficult to find accommodation for its leaders in Huzurabad constituency. All the function halls, hotel rooms and lodges are already packed with
TRS and BJP leaders and cadres for the last three months.
Even several residential houses were already booked (rented out) up to Novemberend by the TRS and BJP who hit the campaign trail almost three months ago. Congress entered late into the field in Huzurabad. It was only after NSUI state president
Balmoor Venkat
filed his nomination papers on Friday that Congress party’s campaign has started to get visible.
Now, the biggest challenge for local leaders is to find some decent accommodation for party’s top guns, including AICC secretary incharge of Telangana Manickam Tagore, Telangana Congress president A Revanth Reddy, campaign and election strategy committee chairmen
Madhu Yashki Goud
and Damodar
Raja Narasimha respectively, who would be undertaking campaign soon.
While
Venkat has managed to get an accommodation in a residential house, local leaders are hunting for accommodation for the top party leaders. “There is no vacancy as all the marriage halls, lodges and hotels located either in Huzurabad or Jammikunta towns have already been booked,” Telangana Congress secretary
Bommanapalli Ashok Reddy
told
TOI.The first bitter taste of lack of accommodation was experienced by Raja Narasimha as he did not get accommodation in any hotel.
