The Telangana Congress party, which is struggling for its existence since the formation of Telangana State, does not seem to learn any lessons from its debacles.
The leaders continue to fight among themselves without bothering to repair the damage caused to the party.
On Tuesday, a meeting held in Khammam, in which Congress leaders-- Congress National leader Kunthia, TSPCC Working President Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Legislative Council Opposition leader Shabbir Ali participated ended in a fiasco.
Several Tribal Associations demanded the senior leaders to remove another senior leader Renuka Chowdhary from Congress party. They expressed their anger at Renuka Chowdhary carrying placards stating ‘Renukako Hatao- Congress Ko Bhachao”.
Their contention was that Renuka had collected Rs 1.20 crore from a local Congress leader Dr Ramji, promising him the party ticket from Wyra Assembly seat. But he could not get the ticket and unable to bear the tension, he died a few months ago.
Dr Ramji’s wife alleged that her husband died because of Renuka Chowdhary, who failed to make the Congress leadership to give the Wyra constituency MLA ticket to him.
She had approached Renuka to give back her money, but in vain. Ramji’s wife, relatives and members of various tribal organisations came to Khammam town staged a dharna in front of the office.
The police entered the scene and dispersed the agitators from there and Ramji’s wife submitted a memorandum to Kunthia amidst tense moments and urged the latter to make Renuka to give back her money.
Kunthia assured Ramji’s wife that he will bring the issue to the notice of Party high command.
