It is more than two years since the Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy announced that he would join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but his recent ‘secret’ meeting with Union Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi yet again raked up his exit from the Congress.
Mr. Reddy, who was expecting to be made Congress Legislature Party (CLP) leader, in 2019 expressed his desire to leave the party then and even termed it a ‘dying party.’ The appointment of A. Revanth Reddy as president of the Telangana Congress further infuriated him as he was also a front-runner for the post along with his brother and Bhongir MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy.
