Telangana Congress Rift Deepens as Disciplinary Panel Weighs MLA’s Allegations

The TPCC disciplinary committee has postponed a verdict on the controversy ahead of its August 23 meeting to finalise 42% BC quota plans.

Overview

  • MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy on August 16 accused the state government of failing to clear development bills, saying contractors on the Veligonda–Choutuppal road and other projects halted work because funds need the chief minister’s approval.
  • He clarified that his remarks were not a direct attack on Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy or the party, even as he highlighted unpaid dues for roads and buildings in his Munugode constituency.
  • TPCC disciplinary committee chair Mallu Ravi confirmed that the panel has logged the MLA’s comments, is gathering more information and will reconvene before deciding on any punitive action.
  • Critics note the committee has pursued other factional complaints more vigorously—such as the Konda Murali case—fueling perceptions of uneven enforcement of party discipline.
  • Meanwhile, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has intensified mobilisation for two state bills seeking 42% BC reservations, accusing the BJP of blocking their central approval and warning of ‘vote theft’ ahead of local body polls.
