Telangana CM meets party chief as disciplinary action looms

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy conferred with Congress president Mallikarjun Venugopal in New Delhi on Wednesday, sources indicated, in what appears to be a high-level consultation on party matters. The timing of the meeting coincided with reports that the Congress leadership is deliberating disciplinary action against two state MLAs.

Party sources suggested that MLAs Surekha and Chinna Reddy could face action from the party high command, though specific reasons for the potential measures were not immediately detailed. Such disciplinary proceedings typically follow concerns about party loyalty or internal conduct.

The meeting between Reddy and Venugopal is significant given the CM's position within the Congress hierarchy in Telangana. Regular consultations between state leaders and the national party president are customary on matters of internal party management and organizational discipline.

The Congress has maintained a cautious approach to public commentary on internal matters, with party officials expected to issue any formal statements only after detailed deliberations are concluded. The outcome of the discussions between Reddy and Venugopal is likely to shape the party's approach in the coming days.
