Uttam Kumar Reddy backstabbing Revanth Reddy

The political landscape in Telangana is heating up, with the newly formed Congress government facing a flurry of challenges and accusations from its rivals, the BJP and the BRS.

The Congress, having come to power against all odds, is facing a barrage of claims from both the BJP and the BRS predicting a short-lived tenure. The BJP, known for its tactics in toppling rival governments in various states, has a history of such political maneuvering, drawing comparisons to its tactics in Maharashtra, where it split the Shiv Sena to gain power. The BRS, echoing similar sentiments, claims to have influence over several Congress MLAs.

Adding fuel to the fire, BJP MLA Eleti Maheshwar Reddy has made sensational allegations against former Telangana Congress leader Uttam Kumar Reddy, claiming he sent Rs. 100 crore to Delhi to secure the Chief Ministership. Reddy also alleged a larger sum of Rs. 500 crore had been exchanged for this purpose.

These allegations have sparked controversy and raised eyebrows, as the Congress leadership had appointed Revanth Reddy, a relatively recent addition to the party, as Chief Minister, despite the presence of senior leaders like Uttam Kumar Reddy and Komati Reddy Venkata Reddy.

The Congress government, which enjoys a narrow majority of just 4 seats, is navigating this turbulent political landscape.  It remains to be seen how they will respond to these allegations and whether they can weather the storm of political maneuvering and power struggles. The coming weeks and months will likely be crucial for the Congress government, testing its ability to maintain stability and effectively govern amidst these turbulent waters.
