The political landscape in Telangana is heating up as the All India Congress Committee (AICC) leadership is reportedly planning to summon Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka, and other key ministers to New Delhi. This move comes in response to mounting allegations concerning coal mine tenders and growing differences among cabinet colleagues, which have sparked concerns within the party ranks.
Timing and Municipal Elections
However, sources indicate that this crucial meeting is unlikely to occur before the upcoming municipal elections, which are scheduled to take place in the second week of February. This timing suggests that the party high command is prioritizing local electoral preparations over immediate internal discussions, aiming to maintain stability during the campaign period.
CM Revanth Reddy's Current Engagements
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is currently on an official tour of the United States and is expected to return to Hyderabad on February 1. Upon his arrival, he plans to resume his district tour, which will conveniently align with the municipal election campaign efforts, allowing him to directly engage with voters and party workers across the state.
Internal Complaints and Party Dynamics
The AICC leadership has also been receiving numerous complaints from loyal party members, who have expressed serious concerns over the perceived prioritization of turncoat MLAs and their followers in various administrative and political matters. These grievances highlight underlying tensions within the Congress party in Telangana, as it navigates the challenges of governance and coalition management.
Kancha Gachibowli Land Issue
In a related development, All India Congress Committee in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan has been actively involved in addressing the Kancha Gachibowli land issue. She has conducted several meetings on this matter and even visited the University of Hyderabad to interact with leaders of the students' union and staff, demonstrating the party's efforts to engage with grassroots stakeholders and resolve contentious local issues.
As the situation unfolds, political observers are closely monitoring how these internal dynamics will impact the Congress party's performance in the forthcoming municipal elections and its overall governance strategy in Telangana.
