Tickets aspirants busy celebrating birthdays with big meetings in Adilabad
ADILABAD: In the run-up to the Assembly elections, ticket aspirants are busy celebrating their birthdays by holding big meetings and spending huge money to feed hundreds of party activists.
Big function halls are booked for the mega shows with a view to impressing the party leadership as well as their own followers.
The recent birthday celebrations of Vedma Bojju of the Congress party and Anil Jadhav of the BRS, who are aspiring for party tickets from Khanapur and Boath assembly constituencies respectively, have become a topic for discussion in Adilabad district’s political circuits.
These leaders also sought blessings from senior leaders at these birthday celebrations in Utnoor and Ichoda in the Adilabad district. A bike rally was taken out to Ichoda from Neredigonda to mark Anil Jadhav’s birthday celebrations.
However, such birthdays also exposed the groupism within the parties and brought the differences among the leaders to the fore.
TPCC president Revanth Reddy's group of Congress leaders participated while Bhatti Vikramarka’s group leaders were not seen in the birthday celebrations of the Congress leader aspiring for party ticket from Khanapur.
Even DCC president Sajid Khan was not seen at the main birthday celebration event where Ramachandra Reddy and Sanjeev Reddy were sharing dais with Kandi Srinivas, who recently joined the party from BJP.
In Neredigonda, senior BRS leaders, MLAs and party activists attended the birthday celebrations of BRS leaders. Slogans like ‘Kaboye Boath MLA’ rent the air.
News is that the MLA who participated in Anil Jadhav's birthday celebrations reportedly said that Anil was eligible for the MLA post, measured by any yardstick.
However, Boath MLA Rathod Bapurao has not attended the birthday celebrations but Adilabad ZP chairperson Rathod Janardhan and MLA Jogu Ramanna were present.
In Anil Jadhav’s birthday celebrations too, the groupism in the party came to the fore with the joining of Rathod Janadhan and Jogu Ramanna in the celebrations.
