Names with \'R\' hit with BJP, dubious for others
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: Sentiments and superstitions play a big role in Indian politics. With this, leaders having names starting with R in the TRS and Congress, and even leaders with the Rao or Reddy tag, are being looked at with suspicion. There are dozen MLAs in TRS whose names begin with R. They include Redya Naik, Ramesh Aroori, Rajaiah Thatikonda, Ravidra Kumar Ramavath, Ramanna Jogu, Rakha Naik, Rasamayi Balakishan, Ravi Shankar Sunke, Ramesh Chennamaneni, Rammohan Reddy Chittem, Rohit Reddy P and Rega Kantha Rao. Strangely, of the six Congress MLAs there is no one whose name begins with R. Of the three Congress Lok Sabha members, only TPCC chief A. Revanth Reddy's name starts with R. But if "Reddy" word is also taken into account, all the three Congress MPs belong to the community — Revanth Reddy, N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy. However, TRS and Congress dismiss these superstitions saying if names starting with R or Reddy or Rao are taken into account, even Chief Minister K.Chandrashekar Rao, K.R.
