TJS President, Professor Kodandaram, met with former All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi at V Park in Karimnagar on Friday, expressing their intent to contest the TSLA elections in unison with Congress as a demonstration of their commitment to a democratic Telangana.

During their meeting, Professor Kodandaram and Rahul Gandhi discussed the strategic approach to remove the ruling BRS party from power.
