Mahender Reddy, who earlier was a close associate of Sanjay Kumar, has been staying away from BJP president for the past sometime due to various reasons. An advocate by profession, Mahender Reddy used to play an active role in party activities and also worked as BJP Karimnagar town president.

According to party sources, the differences cropped up between Sanjay Kumar and Mahender from Municipal Corporation of Karimnagar elections held in January 2020.

Though Mahender Reddy contested for corporator post from 40th division, BJP cadre worked for his defeat by supporting the independent candidate Kotagiri Bhuma Goud. Disappointed over party workers’ move, Mahender Reddy has been staying away from Sanjay Kumar as well as party activities.
