Chandra Babu & TDP taking Revanth Reddy for granted. The moment the counting began and the trends started favoring the Congress party led by Revanth Reddy in Telangana, an unexpected wave of celebration swept through more than just Congress supporters. Surprisingly, TDP enthusiasts joined in the jubilation, converging at the Gandhi Bhavan in Hyderabad and chanting slogans proclaiming 'CM Revanth Reddy.'
This unexpected turn of events has roots in the long-standing belief among TDP supporters that if Revanth Reddy ascends to the position of Chief Minister in Telangana, he will, in turn, support Chandra Babu Naidu and the TDP during the upcoming Andhra Pradesh elections. Their optimism hinges on Revanth Reddy's past association with the TDP, fostering the conviction that he will play a pivotal role in assisting Chandra Babu Naidu's party in overcoming AP CM Jagan and the ruling YSRCP in the subsequent elections.
However, this assumption has sparked curiosity among observers, prompting them to question why Revanth Reddy should automatically align himself with the TDP and Chandra Babu Naidu. It raises the concern of whether TDP supporters might be taking Revanth Reddy for granted.
A deeper analysis reveals that Revanth Reddy's political trajectory has taken a significant turn since his time with the TDP. Joining the Congress after feeling betrayed by Chandra Babu Naidu, who distanced himself during the note-for-vote scam, speaks volumes about Revanth Reddy's stance. In the face of legal challenges, Chandra Babu Naidu chose self-preservation, leaving Revanth Reddy to face the consequences alone.
Revanth Reddy's affiliation with the Congress indicates a new direction in his political allegiance. It is noteworthy that the Congress is actively contesting in Andhra Pradesh, with its own strategy, including plans to leverage Jagan's sister Sharmila for campaigning in the state. If Revanth Reddy is committed to his current political affiliation, there is a possibility that he might seek retribution against Chandra Babu Naidu for the past betrayals, rather than automatically aligning with the TDP.
In essence, the celebration among TDP supporters might be premature, and Revanth Reddy's future political moves are likely to be influenced by his commitment to the Congress and his determination to address past grievances rather than serving as a pawn in another political game.
