Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief Mahesh Kumar Goud on Saturday stated that the Youth Congress remains a key pathway to long-term political leadership within the party. He noted that many top Congress leaders began their careers in the NSUI and Youth Congress.
Speaking at a state-level extended meeting of the Youth Congress at Indira Bhavan in Gandhi Bhavan premises, Goud stressed the need for young leaders to build their reputation through grassroots work. “Working in villages connects you with public sentiment,” he said.
Youth Congress future tied to grassroots efforts: TPCC chief
Goud told participants that the party would offer meaningful roles, including sarpanch, MPP, and ZPTC levels, to deserving Youth Congress workers. He noted that several former Youth Congress leaders now serve as corporation chairpersons and DCC presidents.
“Youth Congress is the future of the party. Real leadership emerges from people like you. Jump politics may bring short-term success, but not in long-term politics,” he said. Goud also emphasized that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi strongly supports NSUI and Youth Congress activities.
The event featured training on the ‘With IYC’ app and political strategies. Youth Congress national in-charge Manish Sharma, state in-charge Syed Khalid, co-incharges Roshni Jaiswal and Bhavya, national secretary Mamatha Nagireddy, and others participated.
Youth Congress to campaign in villages on welfare schemes
Telangana Youth Congress president Jakkidi Shiva Charan Reddy urged members to work harder to strengthen the organization. This would ensure Congress wins in local body elections. He promised adequate representation for youth leaders in these polls.
He also proposed setting up White T-Shirt Clubs in every village. This initiative aims to raise awareness about government schemes and expose alleged voter fraud by the BJP and the Election Commission.
