Congress leaders in Telangana are reportedly expressing dissatisfaction over Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s decision to install a statue of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. T. Rama Rao at Ameerpet Maitrivanam. The move, seen as an attempt to woo a section of voters ahead of the upcoming by-elections, has stirred internal unrest within the party.
Several senior Congress leaders believe the gesture is politically misguided, pointing out that NTR was a lifelong rival of the Congress Party, having once overthrown its government and remained a formidable opponent throughout his career.
One senior leader remarked, “Our Chief Minister should be honoring leaders who built and strengthened the Congress in Telangana — such as Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Chenna Reddy — instead of glorifying someone who fought against our party.”
The controversy underscores a growing ideological rift within the Telangana Congress and raises questions about Revanth Reddy’s political strategy. Many leaders fear such actions could alienate the party’s traditional support base rather than expand it.
Adding to the tension, the silence of top Congress leadership, including Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, has not gone unnoticed. Insiders say their inaction reflects a lack of internal cohesion and clarity within the party at a critical time.
Analysts argue that decisions like this risk blurring the Congress’s ideological identity in Telangana, weakening its political stance as it seeks to consolidate power in the state.
