JC-Raghuveera Became Another Kiran-Botsa

Power politics are common among Congress leaders from a long time. The focus has now shifted to Anantapur politics, where there is a friction between JC Diwakar Reddy and minister Raghuveera Reddy.

Both these Congress scions are going opposite ways from a long time. After 2009 elections, Raghuveera's group is showing dominance in all aspects. Reports say that they played key role in obstructing an MP seat to JC's brother Prabhakar Reddy and a minister seat to JC Diwakar Reddy. Recently, JC group is now bursting anger that Delhi ambassador Vayalar Ravi has not invited them to for opinion because of Raghuveera's intervention.

While rivals from same party Rayapati and Kanna criticize each other publicly, people like Kiran-Botsa are duping innocence in public and fighting internally, say observers. Now that JC-Raghuveera too joining this camp, a loss can be anticipated for Congress in coming polls, but not a pinch of benefit.

JC Invokes Caste-Card To Suppress Jagan

Congress leader JC Diwakar Reddy finally succeeded in invoking Caste-card to suppress the growing craze for YS Jagan. He is all ready to start 'Reddy Pariwar' to make all the cadres of Congress belonging to that community walk in a line.

'We are planning to arrange Reddy Pariwar to assemble all the party cadres and top brass that belong to Reddy community. As most of our leaders are busy with Praja Padham, we'll hold meeting after 20th of this month', said JC Diwakar Reddy. The main intention of this summit is to prove that Jagan is not a part of their community, as he is a Christian by birth. 'I'll take complete responsibility to ensure all Reddys of state continue in Congress', he adds.

Observers say that Reddy-Pariwar will be a second blow to Jagan, as KA Paul is already on fire to split up Christian community votes. On the flip side, CM and his anti-groups including JC Diwakar Reddy and DL Ravindra Reddy too hail from same community and a patch up looks impossible. Will this Reddy-card really helps Congress?
