Mallu Ravi, who recently won for the second time from Nagarkurnool in the Lok Sabha polls, is now in the running for the position of PCC president in Telangana. His younger brother, Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who is the Deputy CM of the state, is also vying for the same position. Other contenders include a MLC, a former MP, and a former MLA.
Party sources suggest that the chances of a Dalit leader being chosen for the PCC president’s role are high, considering that Congress won all three SC seats in Telangana and the Chief Minister is from an upper caste. Mallu Ravi, a close aide of CM A Revanth Reddy, is eager to take on key responsibilities within the party due to his long-standing service.
Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who had aspirations for the CM’s position but settled for Deputy CM, tried to push his wife’s candidacy for a MP seat in Khammam. However, his efforts were unsuccessful, leading him to now pursue his own candidature for PCC president. Both brothers are lobbying in the AICC and have made their presence known at party meetings in Delhi.
Other prominent party members in Telangana, such as former MP Madhu Yashki Goud, MLC M Mahesh Kumar Goud, and former MLA T Jagga Reddy, are also vying for the top position within the party. They have redirected their focus towards securing the role of PCC president.
