‘Sulking ‘ Telangana BJP leader Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy has been appointed as member of BJP National Executive Committee.Rajgopal Reddy created a political stir on Tuesday as he met some Congress leaders.
This comes after Union Minister Kishan Reddy replaced Bandi Sanjay as Telangana BJP President.
According to communication from the BJP national general secretary Arun Singh on Wednesday evening, Rajagopal Reddy has been appointed as BJP national executive committee member.
Speculations are doing rounds that the BJP leader may switch loyalties to Congress soon.The fresh development to appoint Reddy as BJP National executive council member will help the party to stop the migration of the senior leader to rival party, leaders said.
Raj Gopal Reddy was reportedly one of the dissenting leaders in the party against former state BJP chief Bandi Sanjay Kumar.
The removal of Sanjay came as a huge shock to him as only a few days ago BJP general secretary in charge for Telangana Tarun Chugh had ruled out a change in the leadership.
Angry over Sanjay’s removal, BJP’s Nalgonda town unit president M.Nageswara Rao resigned from his post.
In Khammam district, a supporter of Sanjay reportedly attempted suicide.
BJP spokesperson in Telangana K Krishna Sagar Rao said Kishan Reddy’s appointment as state party president would resolve “most of the conflicts between different leaders who have come from other parties”.
