Will Give Ticket To Rajagopal Reddy If Returns: Congress

TPCC President and the Congress MP Revanth Reddy today made a sensational statement that the party was ready to give the Munugodu ticket to estranged leader and former MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy if he returned to the party fold.

He also promised Rajagopal Reddy that all the senior leaders of the party would work for his victory in the upcoming by-election to the constituency.

He also claimed that Rajagopal Reddy had resigned from his post in protest against the negligence of his constituency by the KCR-led State government, and not due to anything to do with the Congress.

He made these sensational remarks while addressing media persons after flagging off the party's padayatra in Munugodu.

Speaking on the occasion, he targeted the BJP and said that there would be a lot of fanfare whenever a leader joined the BJP, but that the party leadership forgot about any leader if they did not find any use for them.

He cited the examples of BJP leaders like L K Advani, Murali Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan and M Venkaiah Naidu to support his claims, and alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had ignored them by not fielding them in the elections.

The statement made by Revanth Reddy has created ripples in the political circles of the state. Rajagopal Reddy has not yet reacted to the statement of Revanth Reddy.

Revanth Reddy however did not appear to do himself any favours with Rajagopal Reddy when he said that it had become a fashion for leaders to talk about ideals after selling themselves to rival political parties.

Targeting CM KCR, Revanth Reddy alleged that the CM did not show any solution to the problems faced by Munugodu and its people, including its bad roads, podu lands and drinking water shortages.

Targeting PM Modi, too, Reddy asked him how he would seek the votes of the people of Munugodu after saying that Telangana State was formed by locking up the doors of Parliament.
