Overview

  • Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy renewed his threat to quit as Munugode MLA after Congress failed to fulfil its promise of a Cabinet berth when he rejoined from the BJP.
  • He highlighted a funding gap, noting that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy’s Kodangal constituency received ₹5,000 crore while his own and others were sidelined.
  • The senior legislator criticised the induction of junior members and recent turncoats into the state Cabinet ahead of him despite his longer service.
  • Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said he was unaware of any such promise and stressed that ministerial appointments rest solely with the party high command and Chief Minister.
  • Congress has yet to respond substantively to Rajgopal Reddy’s ultimatum and the three vacant Cabinet slots remain unfilled under central party authority.
