The Telangana wing of Congress pinned high hopes on the recent Munugode by-polls. The grand old party wanted to prove that it is still in the picture and it can bounce back. Sadly that did not happen. Forget about getting the third position Congress lost its deposit too.
Strategically Palvai Sravanthi Reddy, daughter of Palvai Govardhan Reddy was fielded as the candidate. This did not pay off as the main fight happened between the two big titans Bharatiya Janata Party and the ruling TRS. The episode showed the issues Congress has been facing.
Despite Revanth Reddy, the President of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee working hard on campaigning for the party the seniors did not take part in this. MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy who is the star campaigner for the polls distanced himself from the campaign and went to Australia.
It is understood that his brother Raj Gopal Reddy was a BJP candidate. But the other seniors also did not participate in the campaign. It is said that the seniors did not forget their issues with Revanth and that’s why they did not support him.
Now the news is that the Congress leadership is reportedly in plans to hand over Telangana Congress responsibility to Priyanka Gandhi. As a campaigner, she has already toured a few states and addressed a bunch of gatherings.
The grand old party wants to look into the Telangana wing of the party to know why the party is unable to grow here and Priaynaka Gandhi might come into the picture here. Now the question is whether Priyanka Gandhi can make seniors work with Revanth Or not.
