After the Congress party came to power in Telangana, one of its MLAs directly objected to a statement made by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He tweeted to this effect. Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has been repeatedly saying that the Congress party will rule Telangana for ten years and that they will win the next elections as well. He has already made this statement several times. He has been stating that just like the people of Telangana gave BRS a chance for ten years, they will also give the same chance to the Congress party. However, during a meeting held as part of his tour in Mahbubnagar on Friday, CM Revanth Reddy announced that for the next ten years, a child of Palamuru will remain the Chief Minister. This has now become a matter of controversy. Senior MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy responded on the 'X' platform regarding this. He stated that Revanth Reddy’s statement does not align with the party line.
The summary of Rajagopal Reddy’s tweet is as follows: “Revanth Reddy proclaiming that he will be the Chief Minister for the next ten years is against the policies of the Congress party. In a national party like Congress, the Chief Minister is elected democratically based on the directions of the high command. Genuine Congress leaders and workers will not tolerate any attempts to turn Telangana Congress into a personal empire.” It is an open secret that Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy is highly dissatisfied for not being given a ministerial post. He has said several times that when he returned to Congress from BJP, he was promised such a position. However, even in the recent expansion, the high command did not provide him any opportunity.
It is already known that his brother Komatireddy Venkata Reddy is a minister in the Telangana cabinet. Meanwhile, CM Revanth Reddy has been consistently stating that while anyone can aspire for ministerial posts, it is the high command that ultimately makes the decision. Whatever the reasons may be, Rajagopal Reddy, who is dissatisfied with CM Revanth Reddy, responded to his statement and has now triggered a fresh discussion within the Congress party. Whether this ends with Rajagopal Reddy’s tweet or if someone else will take it forward remains to be seen. At a time when there is widespread speculation that Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is not being given an appointment with Rahul Gandhi, his declaration that he will remain CM for ten years has also become a hot topic.
