In a dramatic turn of events in Telangana, the Congress Party's internal tug-of-war has culminated in an unexpected outcome for the Khammam MP seat. Amidst the closing hours of the nomination period, the party announced its candidates, with Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy securing a victory for his relative by overcoming significant pressure from senior party members.
The selection process was marred by intense lobbying from three local ministers who vied to secure the nomination for their respective kin. Ultimately, Ponguleti's strategy prevailed, enabling him to champion his brother-in-law, Raghuram Reddy, a move that has stirred the political landscape in the region.
This decision came after prolonged deliberations and interventions at the highest levels of the party, including CM Revanth Reddy, who delegated the complex decision to the central leadership due to the contentious nature of the competition among local leaders.
