Include the role of Sonia Gandhi in the formation of Telangana in the school program: Congress


The lawsuit was raised by the national spokesperson for the congressional party Sravan Dasoju on the occasion of Sonia Gandhi’s 74th anniversary.

The Telangana Congress demanded to include a chapter on the role of the party president, Sonia Gandhi, in shaping the state in school curricula. The lawsuit was brought by national party spokesperson Sravan Dasoju on the occasion of Sonia Gandhi’s 74th birthday. He urged Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to include a lesson on the life of Sonia Gandhi and her contribution to making Telangana a reality in school textbooks, as a show of respect and gratitude.

“You are well aware that without Sonia Gandhi ji, Telangana would never have been a reality. The least we could do is represent her monumental contribution by including her life in our school education program,” the congressional leader told KCR, as the Chief Minister he is popularly known. “Just as the role of KCR ji cannot be denied, no one can deny the role of Sonia Gandhi in the formation of Telangana. While the role of KCR and several others in the formation of the state has been mentioned in the syllabus from schools, why not mention the role of Sonia Gandhi as well? ”Dasoju asked.

He recalled that Sonia Gandhi, as president of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and president of the Congress party, played a key role in granting statehood to Telangana in 2014. The leader of Congress also noted that the KCR itself had admitted in the floor of the Assembly that there would have been no Telangana without Sonia Gandhi. On June 4, 2014, a separate state of Telangana was formed and the resolution for it was passed in parliament on February 20 of the same year.

In 2015, the state government had included a chapter in the social studies textbook for Class 10, highlighting KCR’s role in shaping the state of Telangana. The 14-page chapter mentions the KCR’s 2001 revival of the Telangana movement, his fasting to death in 2009, and the massive protests led by him for statehood. Congressional leaders were upset that they did not include Sonia Gandhi’s role in the formation of the new state. The Congress party had called this the “fascist trend” and the “autocratic and dictatorial” attitude of KCR. They said that the Telangana movement of more than six decades was not limited to one individual and his party.

Party leader and former minister Mohammed Ali Shabbir recalled that KCR had stated in the legislative council that a separate state from Telangana would not have been possible without Sonia Gandhi and had assured the House that his contribution to the formation of Telangana will be included in the program. school. . He said Congress had been fighting for a separate state even before TRS was formed.
