There were tears, loud crying, protests, street-fights, effigy burning and more, forcing the top Congress leaders to lock up the party headquarters at Hyderabad's Gandhi Bhavan.
The Telangana unit of the Congress witnessed high drama today after the party released its first list of 55 candidates for the 119 assembly seats in the state. There were tears, loud crying, protests, street-fights, effigy burning and more, forcing the top leaders to lock up the party headquarters at Hyderabad's Gandhi Bhavan.
The ruckus comes 3 days ahead of the Congress bus yatra planned from October 18, in which Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are going to participate for three days.
If the Congress was hoping to steer clear of controversy over tickets in its first list for the time being, it was not to be.
