Huge wall posters have appeared at the TDP State office NTR Bhavan in Banjara Hills here on Monday and caused sensation in the party circles.
The posters, which appeared in the name of Telugu Yuvatha, appealed to party supremo Nara Chandrababu Naidu to anoint senior party leader Revanth Reddy as president of party unit in Telangana State. The posters also urged Chandrababu Naidu to announce Revanth Reddy as president of Telangana party unit in the ensuing Mahanadu and hand over party reigns to him.
Reacting to the posters, an annoyed Revanth Reddy said he has nothing to do with such posters and demanded that the party take stern action against the mischief mongers. It may be mentioned here that the stormy petrel (Revanth Reddy) has been spitting venom against TRS chief and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao at every opportunity.
In party circles, there was a talk that Revanth Reddy had outshone Chandrababu Naidu and virtually hijacked the show in the party meeting held in Mahbubnagar recently. A section of party leaders surmise that Revanth Reddy was keen on becoming party chief in Telangana. However, Revanth Reddy dubbed the posters as the handiwork of some mischief-mongers.
Asserting that he was working for the party under the leadership of Errabelli Dayakar Rao and L Ramana as a soldier, he urged the people behind the mischievous posters not to resort to such provocative acts and cause irreparable damage to his political life. He also observed that the party supremo knows very well how and whom to give posts among his lieutenants. (NSS)
