In the case of the Khammam seat, state Congress leaders are angry with Chief Minister and his Minister Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy who turned the tables and awarded the seat to Ramasahayam Raghurami Reddy, sidelining the veterans.
Renuka Chaudhary, Bhatti Vikramarka, Uttam Kumar Reddy, along with other state leaders, are deeply upset. They argue that Revanth is fostering his own faction by sidelining veteran leaders.
Party members contend that Raghurami Reddy has no political credentials apart from indulging in clubbing and leading a luxurious lifestyle. Allocating him a seat may jeopardize Congress' chances in Khammam, they argue.
Furthermore, party leaders predict that BJP will secure at least six constituencies, including Malkajgiri, previously represented by Revanth Reddy.
Additionally, BRS is likely to win 2-3 seats, making it exceedingly challenging for Congress to secure at least eight seats.
Opponents of Revanth within the Congress are gearing up to undermine Revanth's political future if Congress fails to achieve double digits in Telangana.
