Hyderabad: A group of Congress leaders led by Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee chief A Revanth Reddy met with the governor Tamilisai Soundararajan at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday to hand over a memorandum on several issues in the state.

Congress leaders Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, Balaram Nayak, Nagam Janardhan Reddy, Jaggareddy, Shabbir Ali, Madhu Yaskhi, Ponnam Prabhakar, Dasoju Shravan and Anjan Kumar Yadav, were also present.

"As a result, we demand a CBI investigation and the punishment of the perpetrators, regardless of their positions in the state administration," said the opposition party.
