Ghulam Nabi Azad visit stirs up Congress
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: State Congress leaders are drawing strategies to lobby for the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee presidency with senior AICC leaders, who are scheduled to visit Hyderabad on Tuesday. The party high command is deputing senior leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad and former Karnataka minister H. K. Patil as observers for agitations being launched in Telangana as part of nation-wide protests against the Central government’s failure on various fronts. However, there are also speculations in AICC circles that the high command has taken a decision on appointing a new TPCC president in place of incumbent N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, MP from Nalgonda. A senior TPCC leader said it is not yet clear whether the AICC leaders will entertain discussions on the issue of having a new TPCC president. Meanwhile, Congress MLA T. Jayaprakash ‘Jagga’ Reddy said in case the high command wants to change the TPCC president, it should do so after the municipal elections.
