The entry of leaders from other parties into Congress appears to be dislodging the leaders who have been working for the party for long and expecting party tickets to contest the coming Assembly elections. It has an adverse impact on the party in constituencies such as Medak, Malkajigiri, Jangaon and others.
Para-dropping of Mynampalli Hanumantha Rao from BRS has forced the exit of two District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents – N. Sridhar (Malkajigiri) and K. Tirupathi Reddy (Medak) as the two were strong contenders for the party tickets to Malkajigiri and Medak constituencies. Mr. Hanumantha Rao joined Congress with an assurance of ticket for his son too from Medak.
The two DCC presidents quit the Congress and joined the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) with an assurance of giving them due respect or an appropriate position/post. Accordingly, Mr. Sridhar was immediately made the Chairman of the Most Backward Classes Corporation, a cabinet-rank post.
