Hyderabad : The AICC leadership in New Delhi has sought a detailed report on the growing internal differences within the Telangana Congress , with several party leaders, including legislators Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy, T Laxmikantha Rao and J Anirudh Reddy, MP G Vamsi Krishna and minister Damodar Rajanarasimha, among others, coming under the scanner for making public remarks against party leaders and violating party discipline. AICC general secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal had sought the report following growing concerns over internal differences among senior Congress leaders in the state. In July, Venugopal had expressed displeasure over the infighting within the Telangana Congress, including differences among ministers. Meanwhile, a section of Telangana Congress leaders reportedly wrote to AICC leaders, including Rahul Gandhi , expressing concern over the prolonged absence of party in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan, who had gone abroad on educational leave. He clarified that there was no discussion of internal disputes among party leaders, as such matters were being handled by KC Venugopal.
Earlier, the AICC had also constituted an eight-member coordination committee comprising senior leaders to address the internal issues. Meanwhile, Mahesh Kumar Goud met Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Tuesday.
