It seems Telangana IT and Industry minister KT Rama Rao’s recent tweet to Telangana Congress Incharge Digvijay Singh to retire from active politics has got response.
AICC President Sonia Gandhi has removed Digvijaya from the post of Telangana Congress Incharge and replaced him with AICC Secretary R Khunthia. Another senior leader Satish Jarkiholi has been appointed secretary in charge.
AICC high command was unhappy on the performance of Digvijay who led the party in 2014 elections in Telangana and also Andhra Pradesh. The party bite the dust in the last election. Congress was struggling hard in Andhra Pradesh as the most of the party leadership shifted their loyalties to ruling TDP and BJP. The recent increased group politics had already weakened the party.
Eyeing 2019 elections, Khuntia has been entrusted to lead the party and strengthen Congress from gross root level in the next two years. Sources said that swift political developments would also take place in the state Congress as many leaders are vying for TPCC Chief post in the next two months.
