Surprise: Teenmar Mallanna Takes Congress Route!

Chintapandu Naveen alias Teenmar Mallanna is a popular name among audiences who watch TV and news. He created a niche for himself as a journalist. Mallanna is among the very journalists who shot to fame by covering news in the local dialect to connect to the viewers.

Those who have watched his news know that he is a strong critic of Chief Minister of Telangana KCR and he never misses an opportunity to target the ruling party. For this, he faced a few cases and was even arrested and released on bail.

When the general elections are around the corner in Telangana, Teenmar Mallanna took a surprise call and joined the Congress party today. He wore the Congress party shawl in the presence of the Telangana Congress unit in-charge Manikrao Thakre and others.

Earlier he said that he would contest against Minister Malla Reddy in the elections. While there is no clarity on what happened to this plan, he surprised one and all by taking the opposition party route.

Things are falling in place for the Congress party and leaders who earlier left it are coming back to the folt. The party supporters are seeing this as an example of the positive trend of the party. A few surveys also said the same. Now the journalist joined the party.

It has to be mentioned here that earlier Teenmar Mallanna joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. A couple of years back he wore the BJP shawl and many predicted that he might get a party ticket for the elections.

But that did not happen and he came out of BJP. Later he started a party of his own which was even notified by the Election Commission of India, the top election body in the country. Now he joined the Congress which is unexpected.
