Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Mahesh Kumar Goud on Saturday confirmed that the party would fight the next elections under the leadership of Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.
Speaking to reporters, Goud described his working relationship with the Chief Minister as “successful.” He said Revanth Reddy would continue as CM if the party’s MLAs supported him. He added that ministers, MLAs, and MLCs were working in coordination and that internal discipline remained a top priority.
TPCC chief outlines organisational plans
Goud said local body polls would follow once the Governor approves the reservation resolution already passed by the Assembly. He assured that party committees at the district, mandal, and village levels would be finalised within ten days. DCC presidents, he said, would be appointed through a transparent process.
He credited party in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan’s padyatra with revitalising the cadre. Preparations are also underway for a major public meeting in Kamareddy.
On the issue of Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, Goud said the matter was under review by the party’s central leadership.
Goud dismisses speculation on BRS links
Goud dismissed speculation about coordination between the Congress and BRS. He referred to recent reports about Revanth Reddy and BRS leader T. Harish Rao being on the same flight. “I have travelled with K. Kavitha several times. That doesn’t mean we held any meeting,” he said.
He ruled out any alliance or merger with the KCR family. He also defended the government’s decision to hand over the Kaleshwaram project case to the CBI. “The BJP first demanded the probe. We support an honest and transparent investigation,” Goud said. He accused the BJP and BRS of secretly collaborating despite public differences.
He confirmed that the Indiramma housing scheme was already in progress. At the same time, he warned party workers against interfering in allotments. On the urea shortage, he blamed the Centre’s failure in timely fertiliser distribution.
