The former activists, who worked with different extremist left-wing groups earlier and settled in various professions later, became active extending support to the Congress. They are conducting meetings with the people asking them to vote against ‘fascist parties’ like BJP and BRS.
The former leaders of different CPI (ML) groups had a doubt whether to support Seethakka of Congress or Bade Jyothi of BRS, both former activists of left-wing extremism. They conducted a meeting in Mulugu and discussed about it. The meeting decided to extend support to Congress as the BRS is sailing with BJP with fascist forces emerging more and more. Gurava Reddy, who worked as PDSU AP general secretary, said, “Not only former ML leaders but also activists of Telangana who worked seriously in Telangana movement are working against BRS candidates in various segments. So far, they have given a space and time to KCR as TRS leader and his time is over. These forces are working against him”.
