Telangana Congress MLAs demand action against Minister Konda Surekha

Telangana Congress MLAs have demanded disciplinary action against Minister Konda Surekha following inflammatory comments made by her daughter Sushmita against Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The remarks, which centred on the contentious issue of MLA ticket allocation for the next electoral cycle, have triggered significant tension within the state Congress party.

Sushmita's public criticism of the Chief Minister has been viewed by party legislators as undermining party unity and leadership authority at a critical juncture. The incident has highlighted ongoing internal discord within the Telangana Congress over ticket distribution mechanisms and candidate selection processes.

The demand for action against Surekha reflects growing discontent among party workers and legislators over transparency in ticket allocation. Sources indicate that MLA ticket distribution has emerged as a flashpoint within the party, with multiple factions expressing concerns about the selection process.

The Congress party in Telangana faces mounting pressure to address internal grievances while maintaining organizational cohesion ahead of electoral preparations. Party leadership is expected to intervene in the matter to prevent further escalation of tensions.
