Rumors are circulating that Congress High Command may soon replace Revanth Reddy as the Chief Minister of Telangana. However, this seems far from reality.
Looking at the situation in Karnataka provides perspective on Congress’s approach.
Karnataka’s CM, Siddaramaiah, has been facing considerable criticism, and even the Deputy CM is considered a strong contender.
Many Congress leaders in Karnataka are not happy with the current CM. Despite speculation about Siddaramaiah’s potential replacement, no action has been taken.
Currently, Congress is not in power at the center, which limits its influence over state governments.
In states where Congress holds power, like Telangana and Karnataka, the party is unlikely to disrupt stable leadership.
If Congress were in power nationally, there might be more control over leaders like Revanth Reddy in Telangana and Siddaramaiah in Karnataka.
However, as political analysts observe, both Chief Ministers hold significant influence, arguably more than Rahul Gandhi himself.
Consequently, Congress high command appears unlikely to dare to interfere with Revanth Reddy’s position.
