Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s daughter-in-law N. Brahmani was among the industrialists who attended a meeting of CEOs addressed by Congress President Rahul Gandhi here on Tuesday.The presence of Brahmani and Andhra Pradesh Cabinet Minister N. Lokesh, T. G. Bharath, son of TDP MP T. G. Venkatesh and some industrialists considered close to the TDP was significant in view of the recent political developments.

Bharath told reporters that Rahul Gandhi promised that if voted to power at the Centre, the Congress would accord special category status to Andhra Pradesh as committed by the Congress-led UPA government in 2014 at the time of the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh to carve out Telangana.In March, the TDP pulled of the BJP-led NDA over its refusal to accord the special status. Subsequently, Naidu had shared the dais with Rahul Gandhi during the swearing-in ceremony of H. D. Kumaraswamy as the Karnataka Chief Minister.

Last month, the Congress party also backed the no-confidence motion moved by the TDP against the Narendra Modi government.During the interaction with the industrialists, Rahul Gandhi shared his vision and what he plans to do for industry, especially the small and medium enterprises.He noted that demonetization and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) had dealt a blow to the industry. According to Bharath, the Congress President promised to improve the implementation of the GST and address the concerns of the industry.

Rahul Gandhi also promised to bring transparency for greater ease of doing business.Leading Telugu film producer D. Suresh Babu, who was also present, said it was a positive interaction. He said that Rahul Gandhi has a good vision and thoughts.

Giving political circles in the two states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh a big surprise, AP CM Chandrababu Naidu’s daughter in law Brahmani met AICC President Rahul Gandhi at a meeting with young entrepreneurs conducted in Hyderabad.

As a representative of Heritage company, Brahmani attended the meeting at a star hotel. She explained the AICC leader the hurdles in pursuing the career as an entrepreneur and made suggestions to encourage budding entrepreneurs.

Nearly 200 entrepreneurs from two Telugu states attended the meeting. Brahmani attending Rahul’s meeting assumed political significance as TDP led by Chandrababu is inching closer to Congress. Chandrababu already met Rahul and Sonia Gandhi during swearing ceremony of Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy recently.

Hyderabad: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday remarked that he is married to the party.He made the comment during an interaction with editors when he was asked about his marriage plans.Gandhi, on a two-day visit to Hyderabad, said Narendra Modi will not become Prime Minister in 2019. He predicted that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would not even get 230 Lok Sabha seats and hence there was no question of Modi becoming Prime Minister again. The BJP tally would be cut primarily due to the alliance among non-BJP parties in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

The Congress President evaded a direct reply to a question on who would be the Prime Minister in the event of Congress and other non-BJP parties getting a majority. He merely said they would work it out.Gandhi said the party’s state units were free to have alliances with like-minded parties. He was confident that the Congress would come to power in Telangana.

Asked about Andhra Pradesh, where Congress drew a blank in the 2014 polls, he said the party was improving its position.He voiced concern over growing intolerance in the country. He said that minorities were feeling insecure.He called for addressing the problems of farmers and providing employment to the unemployed. He said Modi had failed to fulfill his promise of providing two crore jobs annually.

“China provides employment to 50,000 people in 24 hours while in India only 458 people get employment during this duration,” he said.

Jana Sena leader Pawan Kalyan has come out with a suggestion to Andhra Pradesh IT Minister N Lokesh. Jana Sena leader suggested the young leader to stop following his father and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and instead emulate the international personalities like Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi, Alluri Sitarama Raju and John F Kennedy.

Pawan advised that Lokesh should have adopted the principles preached by international personalities rather than taking his father as inspiration and looting the state, as Lokesh pursued higher studies in the international famous Stanford University in California,

Further, Pawan said Chandrababu failed to achieve the special status which is considered as lifeline to Andhra and also other promises mentioned in the AP Reorganization Act.
