The Congress is a divided house. A large number of Congress leaders with solid base in their constituencies are upset by the way the high command is dealing the Revanth Reddy issue in Telangana. Though senior leader like Digvijay Singh camped in Hyderabad for two days and met several leaders, the dissidence is refusing to die
One party is keenly watching all these developments and is keeping a tab on the movements of the dissidents. That party is the BJP. The party is keeping a close watch on the goings on in the party. The party's national leadership is said to have indicated the state leadership that this is the right time to lure as many Congress leaders as possible into the BJP. They think that several Congress leaders with considerable voter base in their respective areas are now looking to quit the Congress.
The BJP national leadership is reported to have alerted key leaders like DK Aruna,Eatala Rajender, Garikapati Mohan Rao and Kishan Reddy on this issue. It reportedly asked them to begin talks with disgruntle Congress leaders and lure then into the BJP. They were reportedly told that they should fully exploit the situation.
However, there is one catch. Most of those who are unhappy in the Congress on the issue of Revanth Reddy issue, are said to be demanding specific guarantees about the seats that would be allotted to them. They want the party's national leaders to give them guarantee about the seat that would be allocated to them. However the BJP leadership is said to be diffident on the issue. It is not ready to give any sort of undertaking to the prospective defectors. But, the BJP leaders are not in a mood to let go this opportunity. Let's wait and see how things shape up in the coming days.
