"Swamy Ra Ra" says Telangana Congress Party

Is former chairperson of the Telagana legislative council Swami Goud planning to jump into the Congress Party? Swami Goud is from the influential Goud community and has been the president of the NGO mutually aided cooperative housing society in Telangana.

What fueled the rumours is Swami Goud's meeting with minister Ponnam Prabhakar Goud. Both are from the same community. After the meeting, both met chief minister Revanth Reddy. This has led to the speculations that he is likely to join the Congress party ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. This would help bring the Gouds towards the Congress Party.

Swami Goud played a key role in the Telangana agitation. In fact, he was a key player in the Sakala Janula Samme. Later, he joined the TRS and was made an MLC. He was then appointed the chairperson of the legislative council. After his stint as the chairperson, he joined the BJP during the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections. He had actively campaigned for the BJP.

However, he later went back to the BRS ahead of the recent assembly elections. He actively worked for the BRS. However, the shock defeat of the BRS in the elections, a big question mark hung over his political future. Now that he is trying to move closer to the Congress, sources say that he could be suitably rehabilitated by the Revanth dispensation. Let's wait and see how things unfold.
