Why is Rajagopal quitting Cong?

Senior Congress leader and Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy has almost decided to resign from the party to join the Bharatiya Janata Party in a day or two.

Rajagopal held a meeting with his followers at Munugode on Wednesday night to decide his future course of action after the Congress party served him with a show-cause notice for his offensive comments against the state leadership and also party high command in Delhi.

In all probability, Rajagopal will leave the party and join the BJP formally on Thursday evening or Friday. Apparently, he told his followers that he was prominent a key position in the BJP.

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president and Nalgonda MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy said Rajagopal Reddy might be quitting the party and joining the BJP only for financial reasons.

“We can convince him to stay back in the Congress, if he is resigning from the party for political reasons. What can we do, if he quits the party for financial reasons?” Uttam asked.

The PCC chief said Rajagopal Reddy had explained to him why he was joining the BJP.

“Since he has made up his mind to join the BJP, he might be telling various reasons. But I know the actual reasons,” he said, adding that he would discuss Rajagopal Reddy’s issue with the party high command.
