Vijayashanti meets Rahul, returns to active politics
Hyderabad, Nov 7 (IANS) After lying low for three years, veteran actress and former Member of Parliament M. Vijayashanti is set to become active in politics as she called on Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi in Delhi on Tuesday.
Congress party leader incharge of party affairs in Telangana R. C. Kuntia and state party chief Uttam Kumar Reddy were also present during the meeting.
Vijayashanti told Rahul that she will work for the victory of the party in 2019 elections. Party sources said she may get an important responsibility in the organisation.
The actress-turned-politician was away from active politics since her defeat in 2014 elections.
“Lady Amitabh”, the nickname she earned for her action roles in Telugu films, had joined Congress on the eve of 2014 elections after she was suspended from Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) for anti-party activities.
Vijayashanti began her political career with the Bharatiya Janata Party in 1997 and served as General Secretary of the party’s women’s wing. She quit BJP in 2005 to float a separate outfit to fight for separate statehood to Telangana.
She later merged “Talli Telangana” with TRS and was elected to Lok Sabha from Medak constituency in 2009.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
