The name of Ponnala Lakshmaiah went missing in the two lists of MLA Candidates announced by Congress so far. Party Leadership kept the Jangaon Seat on hold. Situation remained unchanged even after Ponnala appealed High Command in Delhi to consider his Seniority, Loyalty and Caste Factor.
As many as 13 Congress Counsellors has tendered their resignation on Wednesday in protest against denial of Jangaon Ticket for Ponnala. Close to 20,000 party activists had resigned to the Congress Party in support of the Former Minister.
Finally, Congress Leadership came forward to hold consultations with Ponnala. Citing the seat sharing deal with TJS, An assurance was given that he will be offered MLC post after the elections and Deputy CM post if Mahakutami forms government. Prof Kodandaram is likely to contest from Jangaon.
Speculations were abuzz that Ponnala would join TRS if his name doesn't feature even in the final list. Harish Rao seems to be in touch with the Congress Leader. KCR had allotted Jangaon Ticket for Sitting MLA Muthireddy. Ponnala won't be able to contest from the preferred constituency even if he joins the ruling party. So, He might wait till the announcement of election results to take a final call.
