Another user commented: “Congress lost Malkajgiri constituency for which Revanth Reddy was incharge and won Bhongir constituency for which Rajgopal Reddy was incharge.”

X user Gopinath added: “The issue should be discussed internally and this is the problem with Congress leaders. Without Revanth Reddy, would Congress come to power?”
