Firebrand MLA from Kodangal constituency A Revanth Reddy, who defected from Telugu Desam Party into the Congress a few months ago, is said to be looking up to joining the newly formed Telangana Jana Samithi, floated by former Telangana Joint Action Committee chairman Prof M Kodandaram.
The other day, Revanth Reddy expressed his disgruntlement over the raw deal meted out to him in the Congress party.He told media in an informal chat that the party was not giving him a due recognition, though he had the capacity to change the fate of the party.
“If the Congress party utilises my services effectively, it has a bright future. Otherwise, it is going to bite the dust in the elections,” he said.
He even claimed that he would accept nothing short of the chief minister post and that he would not settle down for lesser posts like TPCC working president etc.This has angered the Telangana Congress leaders who questioned his overambitious and impatient nature.
“He is just a new comer into the party. It takes time for him to adjust to the party culture. He cannot expect party to run according to your whims and fancies. Don’t consider yourself to be a big leader. The party will give you due recognition and then the people,” Congress MLC P Sudhakar Reddy said.
On Thursday, Congress Legislature Party leader K Jana Reddy and other seniors met AICC in-charge of Telangana R C Khuntia and complained against Revanth. They told him Revanth’s tall claims created unrest in the party and asked him to rein in Revanth.
Apparently peeved at this internal bickering, Revanth started exploring other options. He is learnt to have contacted Kodandaram and discussed the possibilities of his support to TJS.
May be Revanth is of the view that since TJS is a new party, he will get considerable freedom and he can dominate everybody there as Kodandaram is a softer person with not much ambitions!
