After announcing his decision to stay away from Congress and leave the party if he doesn’t get an appointment with Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi, Sangareddy legislator T. Jayaprakash Reddy has called for a meeting of his followers on February 25 in Sangareddy.
The meeting is apparently to discuss his continuation in the party or future political situation if he plans to leave it ultimately. Leaders close to Mr. Reddy have advised him to either remain in the Congress or move to the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) rather than remaining an independent.
Several public representatives of the Congress party who are with him in the constituency advised him against leaving the party when it is looking at bright prospects in the next elections, a leader close to him informed. Some of them were also of the opinion that Finance Minister T. Harish Rao will go all out to stop his entry given their differences.
