T Congress MLA Komati Reddy quits

Telangana Congress MLA Komati Reddy Rajagopal Reddy had finally resigned his MLA seat. He is representing the Munugodu Assembly constituency of Nalgonda district.

There have been rumours that Rajagopal Reddy would join the BJP as he finds no future for the Congress Party in Telangana. He is said to have held a meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah last week. However, sources say that there were some differences and the two leaders did not get clarity on Rajagopal Reddy joining the BJP.

The Komati Reddy brothers have been at loggerheads with Telangana PCC chief A Revanth Reddy, who had come from the TDP very recently. The party high command turned a deaf ear to the complaints and opinions of the Komati Reddy brothers in appointing Revanth Reddy as the TPCC chief.

The Komati Reddy brothers have been playing key roles in Nalgonda politics for more than a decade. Rajagopal Reddy’s brother Komati Reddy Venkata Reddy is now the Member of Lok Sabha representing the Bhongir constituency. The Bhongir Lok Sabha constituency was earlier represented by his brother Rajagopal Reddy.

Rajagopal Reddy said that the Congress in Telangana had become very weak and is not in a position to fight against the TRS government. He blamed the TRS for destroying the newly-born state of Telangana.

Though Rajagopal Reddy said that he would take the final call on his next move, after due consultation with the party workers, it is said that he would be joining the BJP shortly.

It is to be seen what Rajagopal Reddy’s elder brother Venkata Reddy would do, when his brother quits the Congress and joins the BJP!

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.

Komatireddy leaving for Goa to skip Revanth’s Dalit Dandora!

Komatireddy leaving for Goa to skip Revanth’s Dalit Dandora!

Senior Congress leader and Bhongir Lok Sabha member Komatireddy Venkat Reddy continues to maintain distance with new TPCC chief A.Revanth Reddy.

Venkat Reddy who was in the race for TPCC chief post based on his seniority and loyalty to Congress was shocked after the party high command appointed Revanth Reddy as TPCC chief on June 28, who joined Congres from TDP just four years ago.

Angered at this, Venkat Reddy made serious allegations against Revant of securing TPCC chief post like ‘cash for vote’ case by bribing party’s national leaders.

Since then, he is maintaining distance from Revanth by not coming to Gandhi Bhavan and not attending any meetings convened by Revanth. Although Revanth tried to meet Venkat Reddy at his residence, he refused to meet and asked Revanth not to try to meet him.

When Revanth held first huge public meeting “Dalit Girijan Dandora” in Indervelli in Adilabad district last week, Venkat Reddy skipped the meeting though several senior Congress leaders attended.

Revanth decided to hold second Dalit Girijana Dandora in Ibrahimpatnam on Hyderabad outskirts on August 18. Ibrahimpatnam falls under Komatireddy’s Bhongir Lok Sabha constituency.

Komatireddy on Friday (today) issued a press statement all of a sudden saying that he is visiting Goa and Mumbai on a study tour from August 17 to 21 being a member of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Coal & Steel.

His sudden decision triggered speculations that Komatireddy is leaving for study tour only to skip Revanth’s meeting on August 18.

However, the venue has now been changed from Ibrahimpatnam as police denied permission citing traffic problems near Outer Ring Road.

Revanth is now searching for a site near Chevella.

Kishan Reddy-Komatireddy meet: Still the talk of the town

One leader who has not yet reconciled to Revanth Reddy’s elevation as the Telangana PCC chief is Komatireddy Venkat Reddy. He was a strong contender for the TPCC post and lobbied hard by camping in Delhi for days on end. However, the proverbial lady luck smiled on Revanth Reddy and Komatireddy had to return empty-handed.

Ever since, he is back in the state, he is fretting and fuming. He has not congratulated Revanth so far. In fact, he said Revanth was a small child before him. He did not attend Revanth swearing-in. But more than all these things, it is his meeting with Union Minister and BjP leader G Kishan Reddy that is making waves. The political circles are still talking about this. They are debating as to what is the real import of this meeting.

Though Komatireddy says that he has met only to congratulate Kishan Reddy on his elevation as a cabinet minister due to the long-standing friendship, not many seem to agree. They feel that this meeting could set off a series of political developments in Telangana that could seriously impact the state. Some say that Komatireddy’s brother Rajagopal Reddy is already in touch with the BJP and has repeatedly made pro-BJP noises. Even after Revanth Reddy’s elevation, Rajagopal Reddy made pro-BJP statements.

Given all these, political pundits feel that there is more to Kishan Reddy – Komatireddy meet than meets the eye. This could be the beginning of a new political alignment, they feel. While both Kishan Reddy and Komatireddy have claimed that it was just a courtesy call, tongues are wagging about the political timing of the meet. Is something serious cooking between Komatireddy and the BJP? Let’s wait and watch this space.

TPCC Chief: Final battle between Revanth Reddy and Komati Reddy

The announcement of Telangana PCC chief and other posts has been put to shelves several times as the Congress party could not come to the conclusion owing to the Internal differences among the leaders. However it seems Delhi Congress bigwigs have now almost finalised the list. As per the reports the final two considered for the post of Telangana PCC chief are Komatireddy and Revanth Reddy.

Congress party has suddenly become active after BJP getting defeated in West Bengal. Now the grand old party is looking at consolidating the anti-BJP forces across the country and at the same time reviving their own party in various states where it has some stakes. In this backdrop, the party is trying to regain its strength in the state of Telangana and has been mulling over the list of leaders who can help strengthen the party. Sonia Gandhi has been handed over with a list of several leaders selected for various posts, including the TPCC president. The party bigwigs are waiting for her green signal. Other committees,TPCC president, working presidents, faculty and principal secretaries, will also be announced at the same time once Sonia Gandhi gives her nod.

Although the names of several leaders have been nominated for the TPCC presidency, the names of MPs Komatireddy Venkatereddy and Revanth Reddy have been taken for final consideration. Though the names other leaders like of Sridhar Babu, Jeevan Reddy and Madhu Yashki have also been considered, they were taken off from the list for various reasons. However some of them will be accommodated in the posts of working presidents etc. The list of working presidents may include Damodar Raja Narsimha, Balaram Nayak, Konda Surekha, Shabbir Ali, Madhuyashki and Jaggareddy. In addition, more than 30 other leaders will be given the posts of TPCC vice-presidents and principal secretaries. Congress party seems to be following the principle of social justice and is planning to accommodate leaders from SC, ST, and weaker sections in the committees.

However, the cadres of the party are awaiting the decision of their high command. While the youth sections of the party are waiting to see Revanth Reddy in the top post, the older people and the those who have been admiring Congress party for decades are against giving the top post to someone who just joined the party. We need to wait and see who will be the TPCC chief.
