T'gana Congress MP responds to showcause notice
The announcement came after an audio recording of venkat Reddy pleading with a Congressman to back the BJP's candidate and his brother Komatireddy Rajagopal reddy in the Munugode by-election went popular on social media. It is believed that venkat Reddy informed the party leadership that the audio was a "fake" one in his response. According to reports, the mp claimed in his letter that he has worked for the organisation for 35 years and is a senior leader in the party. He grumbled that he wasn't given the respect he deserved at the celebration. Recently, a video clip in which venkat Reddy is heard predicting that congress will lose the by-election for the Munugode assembly seat went viral.
The leading candidate for the congress party, venkat Reddy, did not support the party in Munugode, where voting took place on Thursday. Rajagopal reddy, venkat Reddy's brother, left his position as an mla and the congress to join the BJP. He ran for office as a bjp candidate. In recent weeks, there have been rumours that venkat Reddy will follow his brother and change his allegiance to the BJP. Days after making it apparent that he would not be running for office in Munugode, the MP's audio and video have appeared online.
