Senior Congress leaders on Wednesday created quite a scene at the Gandhi Bhavan over the issuance of passes. Several senior Congress leaders, including Ganta Sayanarayana and Niranjan, slammed party vice-president Sivakumar and said that the party was ignoring the senior leaders, who have toiled hard for the party.
Significantly, they said that those who have come from the TDP were ruling the roost and only those who came from the TDP were being issued passes. This barb was directed against TPCC chief Revanth Reddy, who was in the TDP for quite some time and had even worked as its working president for several years. They created this ruckus when Revanth Reddy was not in the office. They also targeted Congress high command’s incharge for Telangana Manickam Tagore. They said passes were not being issued to the seniors only after Tagore took over.
They demanded that the high command recall Manickam Tagore, who was promoting those who have come from the TDP. Clearly, this was also an attack on Revanth Reddy. Several senior Congress leaders are unable to digest the fact that the high command chose Revanth Reddy as the TPCC chief. While the seniors were squabbling away their time over passes, Revanth Reddy was touring the rural interiors of Telangana.
