Telangana Deputy CM urges former Congress leaders to rejoin party

Telangana's Deputy Chief Minister K. T. Rama Rao publicly called on former members of the Indian National Congress to re‑enter the party. In a statement released earlier this week, he emphasized that the party welcomes experienced leaders who can contribute to the state's development agenda.
He noted that the political landscape in Telangana benefits from unity and that returning leaders would strengthen the government's ability to implement its programmes. The appeal was made ahead of upcoming electoral contests, underscoring the party's strategy to broaden its base.
No specific individuals were named, and the invitation was framed as a broader outreach to all ex‑Congress figures willing to align with the ruling party's vision for the state.
The move reflects ongoing efforts by the Telangana government to consolidate support ahead of future polls, while signalling openness to political reconciliation.
The statement has been circulated widely on social media, prompting reactions from various political commentators.
