Telangana State Congress unhappy with its MPs
As the three MPs who won on behalf of the party have been working like the opposite poles, the Telangana Congress leaders and workers are not happy with them.
Hyderabad: As the three MPs who won on behalf of the party have been working like the opposite poles, the Telangana Congress leaders and workers are not happy with them. While three MPs of the Telugu Desam of Andhra Pradesh have been putting up coordinated efforts to help the State and the party, same will is lacking in TS Congress MPs.
The three MPs, Nalgonda MP and PCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy, PCC working president and Malkajgiri MP A Revanth Reddy and Bhongir MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy are taking care of their own constituencies and districts, and with this the Congress leaders of other districts are expressing dissatisfaction.
The Congress won three seats in the previous Parliament elections and this has given a new hope to the party which received a shock in the Assembly polls being held in 2018. Party workers and leaders have expected that the three top leaders with their status as MPs would bring the past glory of the party and would put it back on the track.
However, these MPs are working like an opposite poles and this has been leading to lack of coordination in the party. This was evident in the recently held municipal elections.
The three MPs have taken care of their own districts. Uttam Kumar Reddy confined himself to Suryapet, Revanth Reddy to Malkajgiri, Vikarabad and Mahabubnagar districts and Venkat Reddy to Nalgonda and Bhongir districts. As there was no coordinated effort to put up a fight in the municipal polls, the party lost several municipalities.
Even the MPs lost the municipalities and corporations in their respective Parliamentary constituencies.
A senior leader of the party said that the three MPs being public representatives and two of them holding party posts did not bother to ensure coordination in the municipal poles. The local leaders have been left to their own fate.
The leader said that the three MPs do not have good relations between them and this has been leading to lack of coordination. "If the PCC president calls any meeting the remaining two MPs did not bother to attend them," he said.
Party leaders said that in order to keep the party intact the PCC should take up issues of the people and hold programmes against the government and fight for the cause of the State in the Parliament. But the MPs are taking care of their own cadre in their respective districts.
They said that the three Telugu Desam MPs of Andhra Pradesh have been working in tandem in Delhi to protect the interests of the State and helping the TDP in AP to keep the organisation intact.
Apart from that, MPs Revanth and Venkat Reddy are in the race for the PCC president post and they have been lobbying with the AICC. This has made present PCC president Uttam Kumar Reddy unhappy.
