State’s largest district entrenched in internal power struggle

Deccan Chronicle  

Bhupalpally: A curious power struggle has gripped Jayashankar Bhupalpally district, with three zilla parishad chairpersons, each trying to outmanoeuvre the others in a bid for supremacy. Jayashankar Bhupalpally is the largest district, geographically, in Telangana, having two Assembly segments — Bhupalpally and Manthani. On the other hand, Jyothi is the wife of Bhupalpally MLA Gandra Venkataramana Reddy and is also the TRS president of the Bhupalpally district unit. The power struggle among the trio has left government staff, district administration officials and party cadre confused about the protocols.
