Jupally-Ponguleti dilemma: BJP? Congress? Or local party?
By: Tupaki Desk | 13 Jun 2023 5:08 PM IST
The political watchers in Telangana are keenly watching the political moves of three key personalities. Their political story appears to be full of twists and turns. It resembles an edge-of-the-seat thriller with a new angle emerging every day. The leaders in question are Ponguleti Srinivasa Reddy, Jupally Krishna Rao and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy.
Both Ponguleti and Jupally left the BRS, which conveniently sidelined them. But, it has been over a month and they are yet to come up a concrete future plan. With the elections fast approaching, they are still indecisive. This could cost them dear, say political analysts watching the developments in the state of Telangana.
They initially hobnobbed with the BJP, but later showed their preference towards the Congress Party. They have come tantalisingly close to announcing their joining. But, Khammam heavyweight Renuka Chowdary has strongly opposed Ponguleti's entry. Also, the party appears to be in no mood to oblige him with the MLA seats that he has demanded.
Meanwhile, Jupally Krishna Rao met Komatireddy Venkat Reddy the other day. They remained closeted for over an hour and discussed the political situation in the state. However, it is now clear as to whether Jupally-Ponguleti duo would join the Congress or float a local party. If they float a local party, will Komatireddy brothers be a part of it? As of now, there appears to be a stalemate in their political game of chess.
