HYDERABAD, 20 December (Maxim News): Despite a sweeping victory in the Telangana Gram Panchayat elections, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and the Congress high command have taken a stern view of internal coordination failures. In a high-level teleconference held on Saturday, the CM reportedly expressed his “impatience and anger” toward 16 MLAs and several constituency in-charges for failing to manage party interests effectively.
The meeting saw the participation of TPCC President B. Mahesh Kumar Goud, Congress State Affairs In-charge Meenakshi Natarajan, and other senior leaders to dissect the three-phase election results.
Internal Friction Amidst Victory
While the party celebrated a majority, the leadership highlighted “irreparable damage” in specific pockets. The primary grievances raised by the Chief Minister and TPCC Chief included:
- Failure to Manage Rebels: Leaders were criticized for their inability to coordinate with or pacify rebel candidates, leading to split votes.
- Nepotism: The high command expressed serious displeasure over MLAs nominating their own relatives as candidates rather than prioritizing loyal party workers.
- Lack of Coordination: A significant lack of synergy between local leaders and the state cadre was noted in constituencies where the party underperformed.
CM Revanth Reddy has reportedly issued a “stern warning” to the 16 identified MLAs, ordering an immediate change in their working style and strict adherence to party discipline.
Final Tally: Congress Dominates 56% of Seats
The reprimand comes against the backdrop of a massive overall win for the ruling party. Elections were conducted in three phases for 12,733 Panchayat Sarpanch posts across 31 districts.
The Final Standings:
| Party | Seats Won |
| Congress | 7,010 |
| BRS | 3,502 |
| BJP | 688 |
| Others/Independents | 1,505 |
The Congress party secured approximately 56% of the total seats, maintaining a steady lead from the first phase through the third. However, the leadership remains focused on “leaks” in their strongholds, signaling that performance-based accountability will be the new norm moving forward. (Maxim News)
