Komatireddy sulks as Kishan Reddy is made party chief

The Hindu  

The elevation of Kishan Reddy as the State chief seems to have rubbed many new entrants into the BJP on the wrong side, and the biggest disappointment is said to be for Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy, who is said to be sulking. Sources said that Mr. Rajgopal Reddy is said to be feeling insulted as his name was not considered any position in the party though he risked his political career by resigning from Munugode and challenging KCR’s leadership. A close aide of Mr Rajgopal Reddy said he was responsible for the BJP high command to act swiftly in the present changes as well as he had spoken his heart out with Amit Shah in New Delhi and explained how badly the BJP had been hit by going soft on the BRS in recent times. Though disappointed, Mr. Reddy may not take any hasty decision to leave the party now.
