It’s close to 30 months since the Congress Government assumed office. How has the ‘People’s March’ goal of reviving the Congress’s image translated into the current Praja Palana model? Is the government successfully maintaining the ‘accessible leadership’ style promised during the yatra?
The People’s March (Padayatra) played a major role in bringing the Congress party to power, and today it continues to contribute to people‑centric governance. Accessibility to the government is now fully ensured; citizens can approach us anytime and from anywhere. We are inviting people to Praja Bhavan, receiving applications under the Praja Palana initiative, and resolving issues continuously. Ministers and MLAs maintain constant contact with the public at the district level. As Deputy Chief Minister, I can say we are fully committed to public service — implementing not only the promises we made but also additional welfare measures. While as the Congress Legislature Party leader I undertook the padayatra meeting the people, then TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy addressed huge public meetings and the end result is Congress coming to power. To commemorate three years of the padayatra, the Chief Minister and I will address a rally in Pippiri on Monday (April 6, 2026) and fulfill the promises made to the local people.
