Ahead of polling on all 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana, scheduled for May 13, ex-Congress chief Rahul Gandhi travelled in a state-owned Road Transport Corporation (RTC) bus, with party leader and Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy accompanying the Wayanad MP on Thursday.
The leaders boarded the bus at Dilsukh Nagar in state capital Hyderabad, after addressing a public rally in the IT hub. During the journey, Gandhi interacted with passengers and sought feedback on the grand old party-led Telangana government’s Mahalakshmi free bus travel scheme, rolled out in December last year, just days after the party ousted the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) from office.
