Komatireddy's meets Harish Rao; Denies joining TRS

Congress MLA from Nalgonda Komatireddy Venkatreddy called on Irrigation Minister T. Harish Rao at latter's camp office on Saturday.

Speaking to media persons later, Komatireddy dismissed rumours of him joining the ruling TRS. He said he had met Harish Rao to wish him on his birthday, which was celebrated on Friday. Further, he said he held discussions on the pending projects of Nalgonda district. He claimed that no politics was discussed during the meeting.

However, speculations are rife that Komatireddy might quit the Congress party to join TRS on June 6. This gained prominence after Komatireddy accused TPCC President N. Uttam Kumar Reddy of lacking skills to lead the Congress party in Telangana. He even blamed Uttam Kumar Reddy for the defeat of his brother Rajagopal Reddy from Bhongir Lok Sabha seat.
