The new Chief Minister of Telangana, Revanth Reddy, did not acknowledge Chandrababu as his mentor. A video of Revanth warning that anyone making such claims would be slapped with a chappal is now circulating on social media.
It's worth noting that TDP ranks perceive Revanth Reddy more as the leader of their party than as a leader of the Congress. If the arch-rival Congress comes to power in Telangana, it's surprising to see TDP ranks celebrating.
In this context, Revanth Reddy is scheduled to take the oath as Telangana Chief Minister at 1:04 pm at LB Stadium on Thursday.
It is reported that top Congress leaders, Chief Ministers, and former Chief Ministers of the party will attend this event.
Additionally, Congress cadres revealed that Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan, former CM Chandrababu Naidu, Tamil Nadu CM Stalin, and other neighboring leaders have also been invited.
Given TDP's apparent pleasure in Congress's victory in Telangana, the question arises: Will the party's national president, Chandrababu Naidu, attend the swearing-in ceremony? This has become a topic of discussion.
The BJP is finding it hard to accept Congress's strengthening in Telangana. Consequently, there are reports that the BJP is taking TDP's intention to see Congress's victory in Telangana seriously.
On the other hand, as the BJP continues to win in three states in the north, there are indications that the same party may come to power at the center once again. This has caused concern for Chandrababu and Lokesh. It's a challenging situation for Chandrababu and Lokesh, who may have to assert that they have no involvement in the victory of Congress in Telangana.
Given these circumstances, even if Revanth Reddy invites him to the swearing-in ceremony, will Chandrababu attend? This remains an open discussion.
