Chief Minister’s Advisor Vem Narender Reddy joined the meeting along with MLAs Erlapalli Shankar Yadav, Kasireddy Narayana Reddy, Battula Lakshmareddy, Jayaveer Reddy, Bellayya Naik, and Shivasena Reddy. Party leaders Giridhar Reddy, Gutta Amit Reddy, Egge Mallesham, Lakshman Yadav, Jhansi Reddy, Kusru Pasha, Sanjay Goud, and Yousufguda Division President Firoz Khan also attended.
Congress intensifies push for Jubilee Hills by-election
Minister Ponnam asked leaders to launch aggressive door-to-door campaigning in every colony. He said cadres must highlight the government’s welfare schemes and explain their benefits to voters. Meanwhile, he urged workers to energise local supporters and strengthen community engagement.
He also told party members to plan a Chief Minister’s roadshow to raise public enthusiasm. The event, he said, would bring greater visibility to the campaign. He assigned one in-charge for every 100 voters to make sure all reach polling booths.
Minister seeks stronger voter participation
Furthermore, Ponnam directed leaders to educate voters about the importance of turnout. He insisted that every Congress supporter must vote. Later, he emphasised that a strong result in Yousufguda would help Congress secure a larger victory in Jubilee Hills.
The minister therefore concluded the meeting by outlining a detailed plan for colony-level outreach, booth coordination, and polling-day management.
