The Congress party in Telangana, which was extremely euphoric over the entry of Kodangal MLA A Revanth Reddy, has got disappointed within no time, as it has not received the expected large scale influx of leaders from other parties.
Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu was considered to be a dictator and a tough nut to crack for the state government employees before 2004 which was one of the reasons why he had lost power to the Congress then.

The Congress party in Telangana might be brimming with confidence with the defection of Kodangal MLA A Revanth Reddy from the Telugu Desam Party, but it has apparently become over-confidence.

Last week, YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy had a series of interactions with media house owners, editors and other senior journalists to seek their cooperation for his forthcoming padayatra, starting November 6.
With Kodangal MLA A Revanth Reddy taking a plunge into the Congress party along with several other prominent Telugu Desam Party leaders, the Telangana Rashtra Samithi has started making attempts to attract the remaining TDP leaders so as to completely wipe out the TDP from Telangana.
Kodangal MLA A Revanth Reddy, who officially defected to the Congress party in New Delhi on Tuesday, is most likely to become the working president of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee.
