Telangana Congress faces internal revolts as leaders air grievances

Internal dissent within the Telangana Congress has escalated, with two senior leaders publicly criticising the government. MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy, denied a cabinet berth, has alleged large-scale corruption and questioned Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy's functioning. State Planning Board Vice-Chairman G. Chinna Reddy also accused party leaders of undermining development in his Wanaparthy constituency and blocking projects, including an IT tower.

Telugu360 reports that the infighting reflects a broader coordination problem. Revanth Reddy warned colleagues that attacks on the government weaken the party's credibility before elections. The outlet also notes that a February 2025 meeting of about 10 MLAs over ministerial grievances and a controversy over AICC in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan's Rajya Sabha nomination have deepened perceptions of factionalism.

Greatandhra adds that Chinna Reddy expressed disappointment at being denied an assembly ticket despite Sonia Gandhi's alleged support. He said the 48-year-old party organisation had been weakened by self-serving individuals. The Congress has not officially responded to these allegations. The unrest signals challenges for the party ahead of upcoming elections.
