Rajagopal Reddy dares TPCC leadership over Congress defections criticism
A politician in India named Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy is very unhappy with his own party, the Congress.
He says the party leader in his state, Mahesh Kumar Goud, should talk to the Chief Minister about a problem.
The problem is that the party is letting politicians from other parties join it, and he thinks this hurts the Congress.
He says people who fought for Telangana and longtime party workers deserve justice.
The party leader had warned him to stop making these remarks.
Rajagopal Reddy says he has not crossed the party line and only wants to make the party stronger.
He also says the government already has support from two other groups, so it should not need new members from other parties.
He thinks it is wrong when leaders change parties right after winning an election on another party's ticket.
He even challenged the leadership to complain about him to a senior party official.
The argument between him and the party leadership is continuing.
Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy criticised TPCC president B Mahesh Kumar Goud for warning him instead of raising the defection issue with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
Rajagopal Reddy said Mahesh Kumar Goud should explain to Revanth Reddy the damage caused to Congress by inducting defectors and its potential future consequences.
He questioned the need to admit legislators from other parties when the government already had the support of the MIM and CPI in the Assembly.
He specifically criticised the induction of Pocharam Srinivas Reddy and Danam Nagender into the Congress and the practice of switching parties after winning on another party's ticket.
He dared the party leadership to lodge a complaint against him with Congress state affairs in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan.
