TPCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy made a discreet visit to New Delhi on Monday and met Rahul Gandhi.
The objective of the visit was to impress upon Rahul Gandhi the need to officially declare him as the Chief Ministerial candidate in case the Mahakutami emerges victorious on December 11. Even Uttam’s closest aides were reportedly kept in the dark regarding this visit.
Uttam had rushed to Delhi in the wee hours of Monday and returned to city by noon.
Meanwhile, speculation is rife that TPCC Working President Revanth Reddy has also thrown his hat into the ring for the CM’s post saying that he had the blessings of Rahul Gandhi and AP CM Chandrababu Naidu.
Then of course, there are eternal hopefuls like Jana Reddy, DK Aruna, Komatireddy brothers etc. In fact, Komatireddy is expected to make a visit to Delhi as well saying that he has the perfect credentials for the top job as a five-time MLA.
