It is an open secret that senior Congress leader and Nalgonda MLA Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has been nurturing the ambition of becoming the chief ministerial candidate of the Congress party in 2018 elections. If not he, he wants his brother Rajagopal Reddy to be the front runner for the post.
So, when veteran Congress leader and CLP leader K Jana Reddy said the Congress party would get its Baahubali-2 to resurrect it in the 2019 elections, Komatireddy quickly jumped into the fray and staked the claim, albeit indirectly. In fact, he seems to have got into impression that he would fully fit the Baahubali-2 description.
“Jana Reddy is fully correct. The Congress will get its Baahubali by 2019. It could be Jana Reddy or any other leader (read Komatireddy),” the Nalgonda MLA said.
Komatireddy demanded that the State government release Nagarjuna Sagar water for irrigation purpose to Nalgonda district.
He asked the State government to release water to Mahbubnagar, Nalgonda and Khammam districts even though the water level reaches dead storage level in the Srisailam project.
He also alleged that Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao was least bothered even as his AP counterpart N Chandrababu Naidu had taken away Srisailam water to Rayalaseema.
He urged KCR to establish a Medical College in Nalgonda district headquarters.
