The egos and misunderstanding between the Congress top leaders are taking a toll on preparations for the Munugode bypoll and the latest is TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy cancelling his padayatra in the constituency on Saturday.
Mr. Revanth Reddy who was supposed to join the Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav Yatra of the Congress from Sanstham Narayanpur to Choutuppal decided to skip it citing ill-health. Party leaders said that there was a function at his home recently and one of them tested positive for COVID. The PCC chief also sent his sample for testing as a precautionary measure and that was why he was skipping the padayatra on Saturday. However, his decision to drop the idea of joining the padayatra might have been influenced by the fact that Mr. Venkata Reddy’s anger was yet to subside and he doesn’t want to send a wrong signal by participating in the programme now. Whether Mr. Revanth Reddy would participate in the yatra at Gajwel on Sunday as per the original plan is not yet known.
