Congress will place its bet on the winning horse based on the survey reports and neither the family background nor personal image will ensure the ticket to the aspirants who are in the race for Munugode bypoll.
The message was sent quite clearly to aspirants who are the strong contenders for the ticket in the constituency that has been traditionally a Congress bastion though the left parties have also made their presence felt several times. The message comes in the wake of confusion among the cadre on the candidate with supporters of the aspirants claiming themselves to be party choice.
A phone call between Palvai Sravanthi, one of the aspirants, and a Congress workers was widely shared where Ms. Sravanthi said she would be right choice and not Challamalla Krishna Reddy, whose name is floating. In the conversation she was heard saying that TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy would not make any mistake in choosing the right candidate given the high stakes involved.
