Hyderabad: Telangana Congress minister Konda Surekha could face disciplinary action after September 2, according to party sources.
The final decision, however, is expected only after AICC General Secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal returns to Delhi.
Venugopal is currently abroad and is expected to reach the national capital on September 2. His return is therefore being closely watched within the Telangana Congress.
The party’s disciplinary committee has already submitted its recommendations in the matter. The report recommends action against Surekha and Planning Board vice-chairman G Chinna Reddy.
The recommendations are not yet the final decision. The report has been forwarded to the Congress high command for further consideration.
Venugopal’s Return Could Trigger Final Discussions
Sources indicate that the leadership is likely to discuss the disciplinary committee’s recommendations after Venugopal returns.
The issue has gained importance because it involves a serving minister and internal differences within the Telangana Congress.
The disciplinary committee examined the controversy surrounding remarks made by Konda Surekha’s daughter, Konda Sushmita Patel. The remarks were directed at Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and other Congress leaders.
The committee had earlier sought an explanation from Surekha. It examined her written responses along with material related to the controversy.
According to reports, the committee subsequently recommended removing Surekha from the Telangana Cabinet. It also recommended removing G Chinna Reddy from his Planning Board post.
Bhatti Vikramarka Unlikely to Mediate
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka is reportedly not keen to intervene in the dispute.
Sources say Bhatti has maintained his distance from the matter. He is understood to be reluctant to undertake any mediation effort between the concerned leaders.
That stance could leave the issue directly with the Telangana Congress leadership and the AICC.
Bhatti remains a key member of the Telangana Congress leadership. He has also been part of the AICC’s coordination structure for the state.
Revanth Reddy Says High Command Decision Will Prevail
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has already indicated that the matter belongs to the party’s disciplinary mechanism.
Revanth has said that the disciplinary committee is examining the issue. He has also stressed that party leaders will have to accept the final decision of the Congress high command.
The Chief Minister has avoided commenting on the merits of the controversy. He has described it as an internal party matter.
He also reportedly asked Congress leaders to avoid public comments on the Surekha controversy.
What Happens After September 2?
The immediate focus is now on Venugopal’s return to Delhi.
Once he is back, the disciplinary committee’s recommendations could come up for detailed discussion within the Congress leadership.
Any action against Surekha would carry political significance because she is a serving minister in the Revanth Reddy government.
For now, no final decision has been officially announced. The next move will depend on the Congress high command and its consideration of the disciplinary panel’s report.
Note: The claims about Venugopal’s September 2 return and Bhatti Vikramarka’s reported reluctance to mediate are presented as party-source information and should be treated as developments awaiting official confirmation. The disciplinary committee’s recommendations and Revanth Reddy’s stated position are supported by recent reports.
