Revanth took risk by fielding his followers?
The congress high command, satisfied with revanth Reddy's performance in the last assembly elections, has granted him complete control over the selection of candidates for the lok sabha elections.
Despite tough competition from various leaders and pressure from his senior cabinet colleagues, revanth reddy was able to influence the selection of some, if not all, nominees. He has taken a calculated risk by running them in the elections.
Some of the candidates nominated by revanth reddy, who ignored the competition in some constituencies, are said to have had a difficult struggle.
For example, in Mahabubnagar, revanth reddy battled for the party ticket for his disciple Ch vamsi Chand reddy, pitting him against veteran bharatiya janata party leader D K Aruna, who has fought hard in the polls.
In 2019, Aruna finished second and lost to BRS candidate Manne srinivas reddy by 70,000 votes. vamsi Chand reddy ranked third. The gap between Aruna and vamsi was more than 1.40 lakh votes.
Similarly, in the Bhongir parliamentary constituency, revanth reddy managed to get the party ticket for his disciple Chamala kiran kumar reddy, against the Komatireddy brothers' suggestions. The bjp has fielded former mp Bura Narsaiah Goud, who enjoys a strong reputation among the public.
"It is thought that the Komatireddy brothers did not collaborate well with kiran kumar Reddy. If this is true, he may not be able to win the seat," insiders said.
