Later, at the AICC headquarters, party general secretary Digvijay Singh held a prolonged meeting with the leaders and enquired about the party candidates’ prospects in each of district where MLC polls are going on.
TPCC chief N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, working president Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Leaders of Opposition in the Legislature K. Jana Reddy and Shabbir Ali, and Mr Nagender were asked to attend the meeting.
