Telangana Congress faced a roadblock in the form of Bhongir MP Komatireddy Venkata Reddy staying away from the ongoing screening of applicants for the Assembly elections.
Mr.Venkata Reddy did not meet the Screening Committee members in the past three days to make his displeasure clear about the party high command ignoring him, and giving preference to his juniors in the Congress. Apparently, he was peeved that he was considered neither for the Congress Working Committee nor the National Election Committee even as those junior to him in politics got an opportunity.
Sources close to Mr.Venkata Reddy told The Hindu that he felt humiliated as there was no place for him after Nalgonda MP N.Uttam Kumar Reddy was made a member of the National Election Committee, which is almost equivalent to the Congress Working Committee (CWC) when it comes to selection of candidates ahead the elections.
