Enthused by aggressive movements of Telangana Congress , AICC high command is deputing AICC general secretary, in charge of Telugu States, Digvijya Singh to Hyderabad on August 31 to discuss the party strategy for Warangal polls with the state leaders.
With TDP caught up in cash-for-vote scam, and BJP with limited presence in the state, the field is left open for Congress. This is even attracting the leaders who once left the party. Turpu Jayaprakash Reddy, former MLA from Sangareddy former and staunch critic of chief minister K Chadrasekhar Rao is all set to join Congress in the presence of Digvijay Singh.
Digvijay is coming to formulate election strategy for Warangal bypolls, party sources said. The Congress, which is in a jolly combative mood, wants to make the home-coming of Jayaprakash Reddy aka Jagga Reddy a spectacular event to demonstrate to the world that Congress has not lost its sheen.
Jagga Reddy got elected to Assembly on Congress ticket in 2009. But, before 2014 elections, he joined BJP and lost the election. Now he sees no future for BJP in Telagnana. Digvijay, in a glittering ceremony in Gandhi Bhavan, would invite Jagga Reddy into the party fold. The AICC points man is also expected to visit Warangal and would discuss the Rahul Gandhi’s tour to Osmania university.
