MLA and a party loyalist for years Vemula Veeresham planning to join the Bahujan Samaj Party in Telangana? Sources say Veeresham, who was an MLA during 2014-2018 period, is unhappy with the way the party is ignoring him. Veeresham is said to be in touch with BSP leader and former IPS officer RS Praveen Kumar.
Veeresham had lost the 2018 election from Nakrekal and Congress candidate Chirumarthi LIngaiah had won. In the later developments, Lingaiah had joined the TRS. The TRS had given all the responsibilities of the constituency to Chirumarthy Lingaiah. This has left Veeresham totally marginalised. Lingaiah carefully omitted Veeresham’s nominees in municipal and local body elections. Left with no option, Veeresham had put up rebel candidates in Nakrekal municipal elections on Forward Block ticket. Six of his candidates have won.
However, even this show of strength did not impress the TRS bosses. Left with no option, Veeresham kept a low profile. He continued to hold party meetings and stage programmes, but the party gave primacy only to Chirumarthy Lingaiah. With no prospects in the party, Veeresham began looking for other option. He has recently extended all help to RS Praveen Kumar in holding a meeting in Nalgonda. This, the political analysts say, is part of his plans to join the BSP in future. As of now, the party has reportedly taken a serious view of Veeresham’s support to RSP. Let’s wait and see how things unfold in Nakrekal.
