Palvai Sravanthi Resigns from Congress

Hyderabad: In a shocking turn of events, Palvai Sravanthi, a senior Congress leader and AICC member, has tendered her resignation from the party, citing a myriad of reasons in a hard-hitting letter addressed to Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. The resignation comes from Sravanthi’s recent bid for an MLA seat in the Munugode by-poll, where she secured the third position with 23,906 votes.

 

In the three-page missive, Sravanthi, the daughter of the late former Minister Palvai Govardhan Reddy, painted a bleak picture of the Congress in Telangana, characterizing it as a “commercial organization and profit-making entity.” She expressed concern about the dilution of the party’s core values and the erosion of its democratic principles.

 

Sravanthi, drawing on the legacy of her father, a five-time MLA, Rajya Sabha member, and Minister, lamented the denial of a ticket despite surveys indicating her strong connection with the constituency. She alleged that the party had deviated from the ideals set forth in the Udaipur Declaration, and instead, “money bags and currency notes took over credibility and credentials.”

 

The former Congress leader accused the party leadership in Telangana of manipulating surveys, practicing favoritism in ticket allocation, and neglecting deserving candidates with winning prospects. Without explicitly naming TPCC president A Revanth Reddy, Sravanthi hinted at his involvement, stating that the individual in charge of party affairs in Telangana was openly selling tickets with “counters brazenly kept open.

 

I wonder if the high command and senior leaders sitting in Delhi were privy to this foul play and cheap acts,” Sravanthi remarked in her letter, expressing her dismay at the erosion of the party’s reputation. She denounced the emergence of a “new breed of brokers” within the party, accusing them of tarnishing its image.

 

The resignation of a prominent leader like Palvai Sravanthi raises questions about the internal dynamics and decision-making processes within the Congress party in Telangana. As the party grapples with these internal rifts, it remains to be seen how leadership will respond to the serious allegations leveled by Sravanthi in her strongly worded letter.

Komatireddy Brothers’ Secret Pact with Congress-BJP Exposed, Says Harish Rao

Finance Minister T Harish Rao has accused the Komatireddy brothers of having a secret pact with the Congress-BJP to defeat the BRS in the upcoming Telangana Assembly elections. He said that the return of Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy to the Congress was proof of this pact.

Harish Rao pointed out that Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, who is still in the Congress, had worked for the victory of his brother Rajgopal Reddy when he contested on a BJP ticket in Munugode by-election. He said that neither the Congress nor the BJP took any action against the two brothers, which is clear evidence of their secret pact.

The Minister also alleged that the Congress and BJP are working together to damage the credibility of the BRS and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao. He said that the two parties have joined hands in New Delhi to defeat ‘Telangana bidda’ KCR.

Harish Rao also claimed that BJP State president G Kishan Reddy and TPCC president A Revanth Reddy are talking to each other every day over phone to set a collective agenda to defeat the BRS. He said that Kishan Reddy would send many BJP leaders into the Congress ahead of the elections.

The Minister urged the people of Telangana to be aware of the Congress-BJP pact and vote for the BRS in the upcoming elections.
