After his brother’s resignation, Venkat Reddy continued to criticise the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A Revanth Reddy for his inept handling of affairs in the party. As a result, several party leaders were quitting the party and joining the BJP.

Venkat Reddy’s meeting with Priyanka Gandhi assumed significance to finalize the candidate for the Munugode assembly constituency. She might collect feedback from him before declaring the candidate’s name.
