Just before the Telangana assembly elections, Chevella MP Konda Vishweshar Reddy resigned to TRS party and joined the Congress. He also met Rahul Gandhi and got assurance that he would be given the same Chevella Parliament ticket in the 2019 polls.
But things are fast changing in the Congress party. In 2014, Maheshwaram MLA Sabitha Indra Reddy’s son Karthik Reddy contested and lost. Now with Konda into Congress fold, there is an unseen battle going on for Chevella seat. Highly placed sources of Congress say that Karthik will be preferred and Konda is likely to be snubbed.
If this happens, it will be a huge shock to the ex-TRS leader. The only advantage Konda is carrying is he has the support of Tanduru MLA Pilot Rohit Reddy and ex Vikarabad MLA who is said to be playing a key role in the party.
On the other hand, Karthik Reddy is really upset for not getting Rajendranagar assembly ticket and this time he doesn’t want to lose any opportunity.
So it’s Konda vs Karthik. Who will get the Chevella berth? Keep guessing!
