Speaking on the occasion, he said that he had worked in the Congress party since the last 30 years and added that he won from Qutbullapur assembly constituency as an independent MLA even after denial of the party ticket.
He also said that he had fought on several public problems on behalf of the party. He however said that the developments in the party during the last seven years had hurt him a lot. He claimed that the Congress party had failed in fighting on the public problems despite being the main opposition political party.
He said that the party high command could not appoint a president to the TPCC after the resignation of the incumbent president.
