Komati Reddy Rajgopal Reddy is all set to tender his resignation as an MLA of Munugode today. He will be coming to the Assembly and submitting the resignation in the speaker format.
Rajgopal will add to Rajendra, Raghunandan and Raja Singh in the Telangana Assembly if he wins Munugode.
If byelections are held the saffron party will be looking to repeat the success of the Dubbak and Huzurabad by-elections to consolidate its position in the run-up to 2023 polls.
But Indrasena Reddy the senior BJP leader predicted that the TRS boss KCR will dissolve the Assembly and Mungode will go for direct polls in the coming general election.
The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi is likely to go all out to halt BJP’s march. The Congress party will also be keen to regain the lost ground and gear up for the big test.
With speculation doing rounds in political circles that Rajagopal Reddy’s brother and MP Venkat Reddy may also quit the Congress and join the BJP, the Congress party is likely to face an acid test.
Revanth Reddy has already come under attack from rivals within the party for failing to save party candidate’s deposit in the Huzurabad by-election.
BJP now hopes that like Etela Rajender, Rajagopal Reddy will give the party a big victory in Munugode to bolster its prospects in the next year’s elections.
