My Schooling was in BJP, College in TDP, Working for Rahul: Reddy
Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao’s bitter political rival, Revanth Reddy, has been making headlines lately with his candid comments on the politics of the region. In a recent conversation, Reddy recalled a conversation he had with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which has sparked quite a controversy.
According to Reddy, during a meeting with PM Modi, the latter pointed towards TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu and said, “Your friend is here.” Reddy, taken aback by the remark, shot back, “I studied in your school, his college, and now working for Rahul Gandhi.”
The conversation, which has been widely reported in the media, has left many wondering about Reddy’s political trajectory. For those who may not be familiar with Reddy’s background, it’s worth noting that he has had a rather interesting political journey. Reddy was once a member of the ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad), the student wing of the BJP, during his student days. Later, he joined the TDP (Telugu Desam Party) and served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the party.
Reddy’s political career has been marked by a series of dramatic twists and turns. He was expelled from the TDP in 2018 and later joined the Congress Party, where he currently serves as a leader. His decision to join the Congress was seen as a significant blow to the TDP, which had been his political home for many years.
Reddy’s conversation with PM Modi has sparked a lot of speculation about his political intentions. Some have interpreted his comment as a sign of his willingness to take on his former allies in the TDP, while others see it as a clever attempt to defuse the tension between the two parties.
Reddy’s background in the ABVP during his student days is also significant, given the current political climate in the country. The ABVP has been known for its close ties to the BJP, and many of its members have gone on to join the party or hold key positions in the government. Reddy’s decision to join the Congress, therefore, has been seen as a significant departure from his earlier affiliations.
Reddy’s comment about studying in a BJP school and working for Rahul Gandhi has also raised eyebrows. While it is not uncommon for politicians to switch parties, Reddy’s decision to join the Congress has been seen as a significant betrayal by some of his former allies in the TDP.
In a statement, Reddy clarified that his decision to join the Congress was driven by his desire to work for the people of Telangana and to bring about positive change in the state. He also emphasized that his conversation with PM Modi was a personal one and did not reflect any deeper political agenda.
Reddy’s political trajectory is a reminder that in politics, nothing is permanent, and allegiances can change quickly. As the political landscape in Telangana continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Reddy’s comments are received by his former allies and opponents alike.
