Congress president Sonia Gandhi showered many promises in her first ever public meeting in Seemandhra region post bifurcation. Sonia attended the election campaign in Guntur district and assured the people that Congress party will stand by Seemandhre people.

Sonia Gandhi accused the Telugu Desam in bifurcation and said except CPM, all the political parties have accepted for division of the state and then Congress went ahead with the bifurcation process. Sonia promised that Seemandhra people will be given all the protection in Hyderabad and Telangana wherever they got settled.

Union Minister Balaram Nayak translated Sonia Gandhi's speech while she addressed the gathering in English. APCC chief Raghuveera Reddy, Chiranjeevi, Panabaka Lakshmi, Kanna Lakshmi Narayana attended the meeting of Sonia, however the Congress cadre failed to pull the crowd and the ground was almost blank.
