Hyderabad Youth Congress:

 

·         The youth congress was established in the Hyderabad state with the support of S.K. Rao and with suggestions from:

ü  N.G.Ranga,

ü  Katam Lakshmi Narayana and

ü  Bai Ramamurty naidu, to bring awareness in the youth towards the independence movement.

·         Representatives from all districts attended a meeting and formed the 'Hyderabad state National Youth Congress'.

·         It's first president was - Bai Ramamurty naidu and chief secretary was Katam Lakshminarayana.

·         They toured all the districts of Nizam state and formed the branches of youth congress in 16 districts in a very short period.

·         As the state congress was banned in the state, and almost all the prominent congress leaders were in jails, the freedom movement in the state began to slow down.

·         But the youth congress and student’s unions saved it with their activities.

·         K.V.Gangadhar, a member of youth congress of Nizamabad was implicated in a lamb case once.

·         The youth congress members were the main reason behind the direct action resolution taken at the state congress conference held at Musheerabad in June 1947.

·         After around 22,000 activists were imprisoned in the Nizam state,

·         The Nizam government realised the seriousness of the movement and tried to make compromise with the congress by releasing the moderate leaders.

·         This news spread all over the state very fast and

·         Katam Lakshmi narayana, chief secretary of youth congress, who was in the Gulbarga jail wrote letters to many leaders opposing the move of the Nizam.

·         Other youth congress leaders also opposed this and the negotiations of Nizam government failed.
