Bhatti Vikramarka, the Dalit leader, has emerged as a strong contender for the Chief Minister’s post if the Congress wins, according to Revanth Reddy. The senior leaders within the party have been divided over Bhatti’s nomination for the Chief Minister’s position, with Revanth Reddy supporting Bhatti for the role. Bhatti, known for his advocacy for Dalit rights, has garnered support from Girijan leaders. This move to nominate Bhatti for the Chief Minister’s position has created a rift within the Congress party, with some senior leaders opposing his candidacy. However, Revanth Reddy believes that nominating Bhatti would help the Congress gain popularity among the Dalit community.
In a recent public event held in Khammam, Rahul Gandhi congratulated Bhatti for his padyatra and praised his efforts in championing the cause of Dalits. The event was organized by Shrinivas Reddy, who recently joined the Congress party. The opposition to Revanth Reddy’s decision to nominate Bhatti as the Chief Ministerial candidate has intensified within the party. Some leaders are questioning the move and raising concerns about Bhatti’s ability to appeal to a wider audience. The Congress leaders who are against Bhatti’s nomination argue that his focus on Dalit issues may alienate other communities.
Revanth Reddy’s statement endorsing Bhatti as the Chief Ministerial candidate has sparked debate within the party. Some leaders believe that Revanth’s decision to bring Bhatti into the limelight and nominate him for the Chief Minister’s post is a calculated move to consolidate his own position within the party. They argue that Revanth’s support for Bhatti is aimed at countering the growing influence of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and positioning himself as a strong leader within the Congress.
While Bhatti’s nomination has received mixed reactions within the Congress party, it is clear that the decision has opened up a new chapter in the party’s politics. The upcoming Panchayat elections will serve as a litmus test for Bhatti’s popularity and the party’s ability to attract voters from different communities. The Congress party, under the leadership of Revanth Reddy, is making every effort to ensure that Bhatti’s nomination as the Chief Ministerial candidate resonates with the voters and helps the party gain ground against the TRS.
Overall, the nomination of Bhatti Vikramarka as the potential Chief Ministerial candidate has created a stir within the Congress party. While some leaders are supportive of this decision, others are skeptical about its impact on the party’s prospects in the upcoming elections. As the political landscape continues to evolve in Telangana, all eyes will be on Bhatti and the Congress party to see how this move translates into electoral success.
