Hyderabad, Nov 12 : Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy was forced to postpone the Racha Banda programme scheduled to be held in Medak on Wednesday to facilitate the conduct of Thanks Giving meeting by the Telangana Congress leaders.
The decision to postpone the Racha Banda was taken when Telangana ministers – Sunitha Lakshma Reddy and J Geetha Reddy called on the Chief Minister at his camp office on Tuesday morning. They told the Chief Minister that the Congress leaders from the region would not be able to participate in the Racha Banda programme in Medak as they need to attend a public meeting being organised by the Telangana Congress leaders in Nirmal to thank the Congress High Command for taking a favourable decision on Telangana.
It may be mentioned that the Telangana Rashtra Samithi and Telangana Political Joint Action Committee had called for Medak Bandh on Wednesday in protest against the Chief Minister’s programme. INN
