T. Jeevan Reddy to Resign from Congress Over Internal Conflicts

Senior Congress leader and former minister T. Jeevan Reddy indicated on Tuesday that he plans to resign from the Indian National Congress, citing persistent internal conflicts and a lack of resolution to his concerns within the party's Telangana unit. The announcement came after a series of meetings at his residence in Jagtial, in the undivided Karimnagar district, where party officials attempted to address his grievances but failed to sway him.

The discussions, held on Tuesday, involved Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President Mahesh Kumar Goud, All India Congress Committee Secretary Sachin Sawant, and Government Whip Adi Srinivas. Sources close to the talks said Reddy raised issues including the need for greater focus on development projects in his constituency and the respect due to him as a veteran leader. Goud assured Reddy that his concerns would be conveyed to the party's central leadership in Delhi and emphasized the value of experienced figures like him to the organization. However, Reddy expressed doubt about finding a solution, stating that remaining in the party would force him to "fight within his own camp" rather than against opposition forces.
