For the past few days, reports are doing rounds that Senior leader, Bhuvanagiri MP Komatireddy Venkat Reddy might bid goodbye to the Congress party and will join the Bharatiya Janata Party.It is evident that he is unhappy with the party and not taking part in the party activities.
One of the reasons for this rumours is also that he supported his brother Raj Gopal Reddy, a BJP candidate in the Munugode by-polls, and shocked his party.The party leadership slapped a show-cause notice to him.He also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently while the grand old party was launching nationwide protests over disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha.So the reports of him leaving the party started.
Now that the speculations are rife, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy reacted to them and gave clarity on this.He condemned the reports and said that there is no truth behind this.
Saying that his blood is Congress, the MP alleged that the reports are spread on purpose.He also said that he was with Sonia Gandhi yesterday, Venkat Reddy made it clear that he will walk with Congress only.
Komatireddy hoped for the post of Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) Chief and All India Congress Committee(AICC) posts.But the leadership did not give him the posts.As he was not given any posts, reports started spreading that he might leave the party soon.
Komatireddy’s younger brother Raj Gopal Reddy joined the Bharatiya Janata Party earlier which became the reason behind the Munugode Assembly constituency going for the by-polls.However, he could not win the polls.As the younger brother joined the saffron camp, reports started doing rounds that Venkat Reddy might also leave the party in no time.
However, that did not happen as the MP cleared the air on this.
Venkat Reddy met PM Narendra Modi recently.
After the meeting in Delhi, Venkat Reddy said that he cannot make everything he discussed with him public.Though he rubbished the reports of leaving the party, the MP not revealing the things started the debate.
Though Venkat Reddy denied the reports of leaving Congress.Political analysts still doubt his statements going by his suspicious actions.
