Revanth Reddy Wants Ministry!

Hyderabad: Revanth Reddy is toying with the idea of contesting by-election for Nandyal parliament that is expected to facilitate with its current MP Gutta Sukender Reddy’s resignation. Kodangal MLA Revanth openly said he had contested in Kodangal upon party chief’s request and is ready contest in Nandyal if party asks him to do so.

However, interesting inside information has it that Revanth is reportedly eyeing a Union Ministry in Narendra Modi’s cabinet. With BJP’s senior leader Bandaru Dattatreya ousted from Modi’s cabinet in the recent reshuffle, there is vacancy from Telangana State as there is no representation of its leaders in Union Cabinet.

Revanth wants to take on ruling TRS in the by-poll as a potential contender. But the fact is that TDP has not won a single Assembly constituency in Nalgonda and Opposition Congress is pretty strong in the district and the talk that none other than TPCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy is in race make it difficult for Revanth.

At the same time, Revanth has his own advantage. The rivalry with in Congress in Nalgonda district – Komati Reddy brothers and Jana Reddy, could favour Revanth to an extent. Apart from this, ruling TRS wants to win this parliament seat and show its strength.

On the whole, the Nalgonda by-election seems to be a bigger than Nandyal by-election in AP.
