Looks like Congress in Telangana is in dyeing situation these days. At the same time, BJP seems to be reviving in Telangana. As already known, Congress in 2018 Telangana elections had bagged 19 seats out of 119 seats. Our of those 19 seats 12 head already defected to ruling TRS party.
One more MLA, Podem Veeraiah was in talks with the TRS. Two more MLAs Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy and T Jayaprakash Reddy are in thoughts of joining BJP in the National capital in upcoming days. This leaves only Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Sridhar Babu and Seetakka in Telangana Congress. In coming days both Sridhar Babu and Seetakka might join BJP or TRS. Even in MP seats, it is being estimated that Telangana Congress might lose 2 out of three MP seats. According to sources, both Revanth Reddy and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy might be joining BJP.
By this, it looks like Telangana Congress might only have single MLA, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and single MP, Uttam Kumar Reddy. BJP in Lok Sabha polls has won only 4 MP seats. However, it has emerged as an alternative for TRS now. By this, it is clear that Telangana Congress might not exist in upcoming days if both these leaders also join any of the surviving parties in Telangana.
