Modi govt hasn’t done anything concrete to prevent crimes against women: Kharge
"We need to ensure equal rights for the daughter, not Beti Bachao (campaign). Women do not need protection, they need a fear-free environment," Kharge said.
Ahead of the Congress working committee meeting in Telangana capital city Hyderabad, Congress leader Sonia Gandhi said that her party is ready to write a new chapter of development of the state and the country. The message of Sonia Gandhi was shared by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Twitter (now renamed X).
Referring to the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014 to create the separate state of Telangana, Sonia Gandhi said, “We had made a promise to the people of Telangana. We have fulfilled that promise.”
“Now, it’s time to lead the state into a new era of progress and prosperity. The Congress Working Committee stands ready to write a new chapter of development with dignity for all people of Telangana and our nation,” she said.
