Crisis deepens in Telangana Congress, 13 leaders quit party posts
This came a day after some senior leaders announced the launching of “save Congress in Telangana” movement to protect the party from leaders who came from other parties.
HYDERABAD: The crisis in the Congress' Telangana unit deepened on Sunday with 13 leaders, who had defected to the party from the TDP in the past, announcing their resignations from party posts.
Narender Reddy, Seethakka, Vijay Rama Rao, Erra Shekhar, and others said they would send their resignations to Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) Working President.
This came a day after some senior leaders announced the launching of "save Congress in Telangana" movement to protect the party from leaders who came from other parties. They called a battle between the original Congress and migrants from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP).
This was seen as an open revolt against state chief A. Revanth Reddy, who came to the Congress from the TDP a few years ago.
Meanwhile, the Revanth Reddy group is planning to counter the allegations made by senior leaders, who were unhappy with him over packing recently announced party executive with migrants from the TDP.
The group wants to highlight that the allegations made by the dissidents will weaken the organisation. (IANS)
