"Its been four years since we have been unable to spread this message in the nation but today in every congress worker from different villages a trust has been built that it's the Congress only which can give a separate Telangana and that it's the high command in the party, Sonia Gandhi who can do it. Today with this message hundreds and thousands of our Congress workers from different villages and the supporters of Telangana have gathered here as we want to convey our unity," said Ali.
