BJP’s Jithender Reddy suggests ‘buffalo’ treatment for ‘BJP Telangana leadership’

AP Jithender Reddy tweeted a hilarious video of buffaloes being herded into a lorry, suggesting a kick from behind to get them moving.

Hyderabad: Revealing what several leaders of the BJP’s Telangana unit think of their leaders including State president Bandi Sanjay, the party’s national executive member AP Jithender Reddy tweeted a hilarious video of buffaloes being herded into a lorry with a man kicking one of the buffaloes from behind to get it moving. He said the same treatment was necessary for the party’s Telangana leadership.

The video tweeted by the former Mahabubnagar MP showed a man kicking a lazy buffalo from behind to get it climb into a lorry, which already had other buffaloes in it. Reddy tagged BJP’s national leaders BL Santosh, Sunil Bansal and the BJP’s official Twitter handles, with the caption that this was the treatment required for the BJP’s Telangana leadership.

Though Reddy tried some damage control with a separate tweet to clarify that what he meant was the treatment that should be given to detractors of Bandi within the party, the tweet has actually revealed what was in his mind, and also exposed exactly what many other leaders of the BJP in Telangana are thinking, especially in the backdrop of what has been happening in the saffron party recently.

Twitterati were quick to latch on to Jithender Reddy’s tweet, with some, including BJP supporters, pointing out that this was the feeling of all ‘karyakartas’ of Telangana BJP, while others felt the situation was the same on the national level too. However, there were others too, who tagged Bandi Sanjay, Bansal and others, pointing out Jithender Reddy’s bio as a national executive member, asking who was handling the profile. Some even went to the extent of calling Reddy a ‘covert of the BRS’.

The video assumes significance coming in the wake of multiple discussions and damage control attempts by the party’s national leadership including national president JP Nadda and Home Minister Amit Shah after leaders including Eatala Rajendar, Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy and others made known their displeasure with the functioning style of State president Bandi Sanjay.

There is also talk that the national leadership is planning to shunt Sanjay out of the post and replace him with other acceptable leaders, with the name of union Tourism Minister G Kishan Reddy, who was twice the State president earlier, now making the rounds.
