REPORTERS’ DIARY : BJLP’s Prediction: ‘Congress Will Be Empty in Six Months’

Bharatiya Janata Legislature Party (BJLP) leader Alleti Maheshwar Reddy has been relentless in his attacks on the Congress and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, but his sharp criticism has also sparked speculation about his own political future. While Congress leaders mock him for lacking a proper position even within the BJP state office, Maheshwar Reddy continues to go all out against his former party, raising serious allegations against the Congress government. Interestingly, sources suggest that Maheshwar Reddy regrets his decision to quit Congress and join the BJP. However, a senior Congress leader dismissed any possibility of his return, quipping that Maheshwar Reddy’s aggressive stance against the party was nothing more than an attempt to gain attention, hoping for an invitation back into the fold. In a recent chit-chat with journalists, Maheshwar Reddy stirred controversy when he pointed out that the Adilabad district lacks ministerial representation. A journalist playfully suggested that Congress would be happy to offer him a ministerial post if he rejoined the party. Without missing a beat, Maheshwar Reddy shot back, “Congress will be empty in six months. Why would I even think of joining?” While his statement has raised eyebrows, Congress leaders are brushing it off, maintaining that Maheshwar Reddy is only trying to stay relevant. Whether his prediction holds any truth or is just wishful thinking remains to be seen, but his words have certainly added more fuel to the ongoing political chatter.
