Telangana Dy CM invites padayatra supporters to Praja Bhavan, revisits Utnoor Hamlet

Hyderabad, Jan 22 (UNI) Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Thursday had a warm face-to-face interaction with Gangubai and villagers in her hamlet at Devuguda Gudam in Utnoor mandal of the erstwhile Adilabad district, recalling the support he received during his padayatra and inviting them to Praja Bhavan in Hyderabad for a meal.
Bhatti Vikramarka remembered that he had visited the hamlet twice earlier during the People’s March padayatra, undertaken two years ago as CLP leader to dethrone the then TRS government. During the journey, he toured several villages, sat with residents, and heard their issues firsthand, with villagers walking alongside him and blessing him in the hope that a people’s government would come to power.
During his latest visit, the Deputy Chief Minister recalled how Gangubai and Lakshmibai had served him food and walked with him for several kilometres during the earlier padayatra. He invited them to sit beside him, showed them photographs from that period, and revisited the moments and discussions, including the problems raised by the villagers at that time.
