- Congress leader Jeevan Reddy faces discontent within party ranks
- Rumours grow about Jeevan Reddy joining BRS in Telangana politics
Hyderabad: Senior Congress leader and former minister T Jeevan Reddy may leave the Indian National Congress, according to ongoing rumours in political circles. Reports suggest that the former MLA from Jagtial is preparing to resign from the party on the 25th of this month. If it happens, it could become a major political setback for the Congress party.
There is also speculation that he may join the Bharat Rashtra Samithi in the presence of party chief K Chandrashekar Rao on the same day. The rumours gained strength as sources say Jeevan Reddy has been dissatisfied with the Congress party for some time. He reportedly informed the party high command about his concerns several times. However, he did not receive support from the leadership.
The issue reportedly intensified after Sanjay Kumar joined the Congress party. Sanjay Kumar had earlier won the Jagtial seat as a BRS MLA. Since his entry into Congress, Jeevan Reddy has been expressing dissatisfaction. He is reportedly unhappy about the priority given to Sanjay within the party.
Growing dissatisfaction within Congress leadership
According to political discussions in the district, Jeevan Reddy also raised concerns about internal party decisions. He was upset that leaders from his faction did not receive tickets in the previous municipal elections. Moreover, his group reportedly did not receive priority during the municipal chairman selection.
These developments appear to have deepened his frustration. Jeevan Reddy reportedly believes it could become difficult to secure a party ticket in the next election if he continues in the Congress. Therefore, speculation about his resignation and possible move to the BRS is growing across political circles.
Political background and recent developments
Jeevan Reddy is a native of Jagityal and has had a long political career. He has served as MLA, minister, and MLC in the Congress party since 1985. Earlier, he entered politics through the Telugu Desam Party. Later, he joined the Congress and continued his political journey there.
However, he contested the 2023 elections from Jagityal and lost to BRS candidate Sanjay Kumar. Later, Sanjay Kumar joined the Congress party during political developments. Since then, disagreements between the two leaders have reportedly continued.
During the municipal elections, Jeevan Reddy expected his faction to receive important posts, including the municipal chairperson position. However, a leader from Sanjay Kumar’s faction reportedly received the chairman ticket. This reportedly caused further disappointment for Jeevan Reddy.
He earlier made comments indicating uncertainty about his future in the Congress party. He reportedly expressed concern about his political future and questioned how long he would have to face such situations. Recently, there has also been talk that he met BRS working president KT Rama Rao to discuss a possible party switch.
Meanwhile, discussions about his political future are spreading widely on social media and across the district. Many people are claiming that he may soon join the BRS party. However, the final decision from Jeevan Reddy has not yet been officially announced.
