Hyderabad: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will visit Telangana on May 11-12 to meet the farmers of the state.

He will arrive in Hyderabad on May 11 and after a night halt, will leave for Adilabad district for a padyatra covering various villages in Nirmal constituency.

Mohammed Ali Shabbir, vice president of the party’s Telangana unit told IANS on Tuesday that Rahul Gandhi will meet the families of farmers who committed suicide due to distress. He also interact with farmers in at least five villages to know their problems.

Party leaders expect 10,000 to 15,000 people will join Gandhi in the walkathon.

After day-long visit, Gandhi will return to Hyderabad and after stopping the night, will fly back to Delhi.

Shabbir clarified that Gandhi will have no engagement in Hyderabad.

Some party leaders had earlier stated that Gandhi will visit Osmania University to meet students who played a key role in the movement for separate Telangana state.

“Our leader has made it clear that during this visit he wants to focus only on farmers’ issues and that a visit Osmania University may be included in his political tours in future,” said Shabbir, who is also the leader of opposition in legislative council.

This will be Gandhi’s first visit to Telangana after the formation of separate state. The party leaders hope that this will rejuvenate the party, which lost the last year’s elections despite the UPA government led by it carving out the separate state.

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.
