“Cong doesn’t need Hindu votes for their victory”: T.N. Rao
Senior Congress leader and Telangana’s Agriculture Minister Thummala Nageswara Rao is facing criticism after a video from a public meeting surfaced online, in which he is heard saying that the Congress party does not need Hindu votes to win.
The clip has been widely circulated on social media, drawing significant attention. In the video, Rao is seen addressing a large gathering, with Congress party flags visible in the background.
Opposition leaders have reacted strongly, alleging that the Congress is focusing on selective vote-bank politics rather than inclusive outreach. The remarks have also sparked broader discussions around the party’s electoral strategy in Telangana.
As the video continues to spread, Rao has not issued a clarification on his statement. The controversy comes at a time of heightened political activity in the state ahead of upcoming elections, bringing both him and the Congress party under increased scrutiny.
