The poll-bound Telangana was ignored in the 39-member Congress Working Committee (CWC) with none from the Telangana Congress finding a place in the committee announced on August 20 by the AICC president, Mallikarjun Kharge.
However, a surprise inclusion is former Minister, N. Raghuveera Reddy from Andhra Pradesh where the party has touched nadir ever since the United Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated to create Telangana.
Former Deputy Chief Minister, Damodar Raja Narasimha is made a member of the Permanent Invitees list while AICC secretary and former MLA, Ch. Vamshichand Reddy found a place in the Special Invitees list and not in the CWC, which takes critical decisions related to party’s policies for governance and the nation.
