Why no one is taking MLA Jagga Reddy seriously?

Telangana Congress working president and Sangareddy MLA Jagga Reddy announced that he is no more with Congress.

Jagga Reddy addressed a press conference on Saturday (today) in which he categorically stated that he has distanced himself from Congress and that he has no connection with Congress from today.

Having said that, everyone expected Jagga Reddy to tender resignation to Congress primary membership as well as Congress working president post and MLA post. But Jagga Reddy did not submit resignation to any of these three.

He continues to be Congress member, Congress working president and Congress MLA but says he is no more with Congress.

This puzzled not only media personnel who attended the press meet but also leaders and cadre of other parties.

Jagga Reddy said he will send his resignation letters to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi soon without specifying any timeframe.

Jagga Reddy says he will only resign to Congress but not his MLA post.

With all these confusing statements, no one took Jagga Reddy seriously. Except V.Hanurmantha Rao, an outdated leader in Congress, no one rushed to Jagga Reddy’s house to pacify him to withdraw his decision to leave Congress.

Jagga Reddy has been frequently praising TRS chief and CM KCR these days. This angered Congress workers who labeled him as ‘KCR’s covert”. Jagga Reddy says this hurt him and for that reason, he was quitting Congress.

Telangana Congress conundrum: After Komatireddy, Jagga Reddy praises TRS

Telangana Congress conundrum: After Komatireddy, Jagga Reddy praises TRS

One step forward, two steps backward. This best explains the position of the Congress in Telangana. The leaders put up a show of unity one moment and show that the daggers are drawn against one another. The leaders profess the party’s unity mantra on one hand and then try to back-stab one another on the other hand. This is affecting the party’s rank and file and is leaving the voters confused.

There were some hopes when young and dynamic Revanth Reddy was made the party’s chief for Telangana. Though he has energised the cadre and managed to build enthusiasm in them, there are several glitches along the way. He has succeeded in making 30 lakh new members in the digital mode, but the seniors are still sulking.

Take for instance, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy. The other day, he attended the Yadadri collectorate inauguration function along with KCR. His bonhomie with KCR was all too visible and he has even hugged KCR. He lavished praises on KCR. Soon, Revanth had to rush to Komatireddy’s residence and had to put up a show of unity.

As if this was not enough, party’s working president and Sangareddy MLA Turpu Jagga Reddy shared the stage with TRS ex-MLA Chinta Prabhakar and rained praises on KCR. He had even asked the TRS to ‘take care of the Congress MLAs.’ This has again left the cadre confused. Now, Revanth may have to make a dash to Jagga Reddy’s residence and cajole him too. His time is being spent on such damage control exercises leaving little time for party building.

What’s common to RRR in AP and TJR in Telangana?

What’s common to RRR in AP and TJR in Telangana?

What’s common to both Congress MLA from Telangana’s Sangareddy Turpu Jagga Reddy and YSRCP MP from Narsapur Raghuramakrishnam Raju? Both are rebel leaders who challenge the party’s leadership but refuse to leave the party. They do not defect or betray. They remain in the same party that they are fighting against and torment it from within.

Raghuramakrishnam Raju has been the bête noire of YS Jagan. He has called for the cancellation of YS Jagan’s bail. He has criticised his own party and its leader. But, he refused to leave the party. Despite being arrested and put in jail, he managed to come out and has become a huge headache for his party.

Ditto with Turpu Jagga Reddy. Like RRR, he to changed parties. He was in the BJP, then joined TRS andthen joined the Congress. He too is strongly criticising TPCC chief Revanth Reddy and refusing to listen to him. But, at the same time, he is not in a mood to leave the party.

Interestingly, the high command wanted to get rid of RRR, but failed. In case of Jagga Reddy too, Revanth Reddy loves to see his back. But, both the leaders are staying put in their respective parties. While RRR is tormenting the YSRCP with his posts, statements and comments, Jagga Reddy is troubling the TPCC with his letters to Sonia Gandhi. Both the parties are working overtime and are burning their midnight oil to find out ways and means to contain them, but to no avail.

Jagga fires on Revanth, threatens to join TRS!

Senior Congress leader and Sangareddy MLA Jagga Reddy fired salvos at his own party president, TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy.

In a chit-chat with media at Congress Legislature Party (CLP) office in Telangana Legislative Assembly premises on Friday (today), Jagga Reddy accused Revanth of humiliating and ignoring him.

Jagga said Revanth is running Telangana Congress like a private limited company and ignoring senior leaders in the party.

He expressed anger at Revanth for not informing him about holding a meeting in his constituency.

Jagga also expressed ire at Revanth for not giving him a chance to address the public meeting held in Gajwel recently, which is part of Undivided Medak district, in which his Sangareddy constituency comes.

Gajwel is located in my home district and I was not given a chance to speak in the meeting, Jagga said.

Jagga threatened to join TRS if the same treatment is meted out to him in Congress.

“If I want to join TRS, there is no one in TRS who can stop me. I am a loyal Congress worker. That’s why I am showing patience. I was elected thrice as MLA even before Revanth joined Congress,” Jagga remarked.

Other Congress MLAs Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Sridhar Babu, Seethakka etc who were present in the CLP office were shocked at Jagga’s comments with media and maintained silence.

Jagga Reddy set to jolt Revanth

Jagga Reddy set to jolt Revanth

Is Congress firebrand leader Turpu Jagga Reddy planning to join the TRS the moment Revanth Reddy is announced as the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president? Jagga Reddy has staunchly been opposing the elevation of Revanth Reddy. He has time and again said that Revanth is not acceptable to him.

But, now that it is almost certain that Revanth would be made the PCC chief, Jagga Reddy is planning to quit the Congress in protest. That he would prefer to join the ruling TRS is also becoming increasingly clear.

Recently when Harish Rao came to Sangareddy to inaugurate some developmental works, Jagga Reddy welcomed him and showered praises effusively. He wrapped a shawl around Harish Rao’s shoulders and complimented him for the work he is doing. This was surprising because Jagga Reddy is one of the bitterest critics of Harish and had many run-ins with him in the past. On several occasions, Reddy had said that he would support KCR but not Harish.

Yet, he is now openly praising Harish Rao and is trying to get pally with him. Sources say that Reddy is giving indications that he would leave the Congress if Revanth Reddy is made the PCC chief. Sources also say that Jagga Reddy has already discussed the issue of leaving the Congress with his close camp followers.

Interestingly, Jagga Reddy is the only Congressman to win from undivided Medak district. If he leaves the Congress, the party will not have any representation in the district.

Jagga Reddy aka Turpu Jayaprakash has begun his politics with the BJP. He was known to be a close camp follower of Ale Narendra. Later, he and Vijayashanti together formed Talli Telangana Party In the later developments, both had joined the Congress. While Vijayashanti is now in the BjP, Reddy still is in Congress. Politics will come a full circle if and when he joins the TRS.

T Cong MLA to felicitate KCR in a grand manner!

Congress MLA from Sangareddy constituency Jagga Reddy, who is a strong critic of TRS and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has offered to felicitate KCR in a grand manner in Sangareddy.

Jagga Reddy, who once worked with KCR in TRS but later parted ways to join Congress, leaves no occasion to criticise TRS and KCR by conducting press conferences frequently.

But Jagga Reddy’s sudden decision to felicitate KCR created ripples not only in Congress but also in TRS circles.

Jagga Reddy’s gesture is in response to KCR’s decision taken on Monday sanctioning one government medical college to Sangareddy.

Jagga Reddy has been fighting for medical college to Sangareddy for long. Jagga Reddy thanked KCR for fulfilling his long pending demand and sought appointment to meet KCR and seek his permission to felicitate him.

Jagga Reddy said when KCR comes to Sangareddy to lay foundation for medical college, he will arrange a grand felicitation ceremony for him.

He said Congress has nothing to do with this and it’s his personal decision to felicitate KCR.

Ramulamma fires on Jagga Reddy over his KCR related remarks

Congress star campaigner Vijayashanti took strong objection to own party MLA Jagga Reddy’s statement. She doubted whether the MLA wants the Congress voters in Telangana to vote for TRS rather than their favourite party. She said that Jagga Reddy should not have talked about the possibility of KCR joining the UPA which is led by the Congress party at the national level. The MLA’s statement was leading to a misconception that there is no difference between the Congress and the TRS.

As of now, the Congress cadres are fighting an intense battle with the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi all over the state in the current local body elections. At such a time, Jagga Reddy should not have commented giving an impression that Congress and TRS are one and the same. Ramulamma pointed out that KCR would continue to be a problem for Congress. Telangana CM is repeatedly saying that no party can form the next government at the Centre without the support of TRS and YCP parties.

Why again Jagga Reddy threatening TRS govt?

Hyderabad: Sangareddy Congress MLA T Jagga Reddy, who recently said that he wouldn’t taken up criticism against Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, has again started raising voice against the TRS government. Reddy has decided to hold relay hunger strike along with his wife Nirmala, Sangareddy DCC president, from February 18. Instead of verbal attack, Reddy is highlighting the Singur water issue.

“Chief minister KCR has failed to respond in addressing the problem of Singuru water issue. If the CM doesn’t resolve it, it’ll have major impact on water facility in the constituency. Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao has diverted the water from Singuru to Siddipet. This too was done without the approval of the chief minister. I demand the TRS government to fill the Singuru dam with water,” said Reddy.

Jagga Reddy has further cautioned the TRS government that he’s not responsible for the law and order problem during the relay hunger strike, while demanding for apology from Harish Rao for diverting the Singuru water.

The Sangareddy MLA has decided to meet the chief minister to discuss on the Singuru water issue and would also appeal for an action against the Engineer-in-Chief for cooperating in water diversion. Jagga Reddy is further preparing to distribute pamphlets on Singuru water issue to every family in Sangareddy constituency.

Why Jagga Reddy turns soft on KCR?

Why Jagga Reddy turns soft on KCR?

Hyderabad: Jagga Reddy, Congress MLA from Sangareddy constituency, has been very soft and cordial towards TRS party and Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. Reddy used to be very aggressive in criticising KCR and TRS party until Assembly elections held in December 2018. However, ever since, he won from Sangareddy Assembly constituency, Reddy has been amicable towards the pink party.

Interestingly, Reddy is targetting former minister and Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao. “KCR is a sincere chief minister, but Harish Rao is a blackmailer. I have personal differences with Harish Rao. Harish Rao was behind my arrest. I don’t have any dispute with KCR family. I just made political criticism only, nothing personal. I became MLA for the first time on TRS ticket. I was benefited twice because of KCR only. Later I joined Congress. I have brought my daughter into politics, when I was in jail.”

Jagga Reddy seems to be vexed with the lobbying politics in Congress as he said that he was not keen on power politics. “With a lot of commitment, I had worked for 35 years to reach higher positions in politics. But, I lost this spirit because of lobbying tactics in Congress. Only lobbyists are in limelight in Congress. I like Rahul Gandhi, so I’ll never leave Congress party. Congress party should support leaders suffering from financial problems. Over 75 per cent of Congress leaders are in financial crisis,” added Reddy.

Jagga Reddy is known for his strong criticism and never believed in getting Telangana statehood. Reddy even owed to quit politics if Telangana becomes a state. Of course, after Telangana became a reality, he changed his voice and continuing in politics and became MLA as well.

T-Congress leader Jagga Reddy arrested

In a shocking development to Congress, Telangana Congress leader Jagga Reddy arrested by the Hyderabad Police. Jagga Reddy, allegedly carried a fake passport and a visa and even visited the United States on fake documents.

Jagga Reddy is a strong leader in Congress from Sangareddy. He was in TRS earlier but later joined Congress. He is one leader in Telangana who comes down heavily on TRS and Congress. Now he is arrested under the Passports Act, the Emigration Act, charges of human trafficking, forgery, and other relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. According to sources, Jagga Reddy had travelled with a woman and a child to the US in 2004 claiming they were his wife and child. But later it was found that he had submitted fake documents to show them as his family. That woman and child were Gujaratis. Case has been filed on this in Secunderabad Police station. Police, after preliminary inquiry, arrested him now. According to police sources, American government officials have the data of illegal immigrants from India. While reportedly analysing the data they stumbled upon details of the three persons, who managed to enter America with the passports acquired with fictitious data.

The Congress condemned this arrest and alleged that TRS is misusing its power by arresting opposition leaders just before elections. They questioned why police did not give any notice to Jagga Reddy. Jagga Reddy’s version on this is yet to come out.
