If Telangana Congress rebels caused embarrassment to the party by deciding to contest the assembly polls, further rot in the ranks was stymied by a Congress panel comprising Pondicherry CM Narayana Swamy and health minister Malladi Krishna Rao, and Karnataka irrigation minister D.K. Shiva Kumar. They managed to convince 25-30 of the 40 rebels바카라all angry at being denied tickets바카라to withdraw from the fray. Seven still remain adamant, posing a threat to the Praja Kutami alliance.
Lack of understanding among alliance partners has seen TJS, headed by Prof. Kodandaram, to suffer the worst. The party is furious with the Congress issuing B-formsÂ바카라that is, fielding official candidates바카라in five of the eight constituencies allotted to the TJS as part of seat-sharing. As a reprisal, the TJS issued B-forms to its candidates in 14 constituencies.Constituencies where TJS faces Congress rebels include Dubbaka (Medak), Warangal East, Khanapur and Asifabad (both in Adilabad district)바카라all allotted to them.
The CPI, which had been given three seats, also faces Congress rebÂels in them. A. Chandrasekhar Rao is fighting as an independent in Vikarabad, while another rebel, D. Nayak, who switched to the BSP, entered the fray to challenge the CPI candidate in Devarakonda constituency in Nalgonda district.
This, in spite of the Congress panel assuring them of suitable 바카라reward바카라, either as MLCs or as chairpersons of state-owned corporations, if they helped the Grand Old Party in the elections.
Says senior Congress leader Marri Sashidhar Reddy, who was denied a ticket: 바카라I am hurt. Not for being denÂied a ticket, but for my contribution being ignored. I wonder if being loyal to the party is more a curse than an asset.바카라 Reddy says it was he who challenged the TRS government바카라s decision to advance the polls바카라that too, without adhering to revision of electoral rolls, which is a clear violation바카라by moving the Supreme Court. That resÂulted in the court directing the Election CommÂission to set new deadline for completion of revÂision of electoral rolls. 바카라Similarly, I have filed another PIL against the TRS government over the delÂimitation of eight mandals in Khammam district.바카라 Although the SC dismissed the case, Reddy vows not to give up the fight. Reddy, however, has not entÂered the fray and promised the high-command that he will work for Kutami바카라s success.
For Sashidhar Reddy, son of former chief minister M. Chenna Reddy, the denial of ticket has come as a 바카라shock바카라, and that too when his family is preparing for the centenary celebrations of his late father in January 2019.
바카라It was my father who had sown the seeds for a separate statehood movement in 1967. Shouldn바카라t the party high command grab that 바카라claim바카라 to challenge KCR, whose statehood movement in early 2000 was no match by any yardstick?바카라
