Adilabad: AICC Telangana in-charge Manikrao Thakre and senior Congress leaders expressed confidence that they will form the next government in the state, on the back of the ‘tremendous’ response to their padayatras.

Thakre appealed to the Congress leaders and cadre to take Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo yatra’s message to every household in the state and interact with people and explain about the proven Congress policies that were always people-oriented.
