Komatireddy

Affirming his faith in Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi’s leadership, Bhongir MP, Komatireddy Venkata Reddy, however, continued to take potshots at the state leadership saying the party could secure much lesser votes in Huzurabad than in Badvel bypoll where the Congress presence is almost nil.

Mr. Venkat Reddy, who has openly criticised the Mr. Revanth Reddy’s appointment as the TPCC chief and staying away from the party activities eversince, said that he did not campaign in Huzurabad as there were bigger leaders in the party. When questioned how can he criticise the party’s loss when he did not campaign there despite being a tall leader, he said he was a ‘district leader’.

He was sharing this views with reporters after meeting senior leader V. Hanmantha Rao, who has taken the responsibility to pacify Mr. Venkat Reddy, at the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) office. Mr. Reddy has been staying away from all the party programmes and meetings including the meetings presided by the AICC incharge Manickam Tagore.
