Hyderabad: Transport and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar travelled to Delhi on Sunday to participate in the AICC-led rally against alleged “vote chori”. He said the Congress is determined to protect democracy and uphold constitutional values across the country.
Speaking before joining the rally, the Minister said free, fair, and peaceful voting is essential for safeguarding democracy.
