It is still unclear whether the party would field Jeevan Reddy from the same constituency.

Though a few senior leaders have supported the candidature of Jeevan Reddy, going by the aspirant’s lobbying, the party seems to have a different opinion.

Among many, it is learned that educationalists Narender Reddy, Ramana Reddy, Velichala Rajender, and Praveen Reddy are lobbying hard with the high command for a ticket from the constituency through their channels.

It may also be recalled that Jeevan Reddy had openly differed with the State leadership on a few occasions.

Following the murder of his close aide Gangareddy in October last, the MLC had even staged a protest on the road and vented his ire against the Congress leadership.

Indicating the adverse impact of encouraging defections into the party, the MLC had even said that he was vexed and tired of this humiliation. The efforts of TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud and Whip Adluri Laxman to console the MLC had turned futile. Party sources said this had not gone well with the State leadership.

Considering all these factors, it is to be seen whether the State leadership will consider Jeevan Reddy’s candidature or nominate others from the constituency.

For the other two constituencies, including Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Teachers’ and medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Teachers’ segments, there is a buzz in the Congress that they might be offered to Left parties as part of the alliance. Irrespective of the alliance, sitting MLC A Narsi Reddy is all set to contest from Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Teachers’ constituency.
