Rajya Sabha member and senior Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao removes the photos of former AICC member K Keshav Rao, former PCC Presidents Botsa Satyanarayana and D Srinivas from the party head office-Gandhi Bhavan.

He said “They do not deserve any place among those great leaders’ who sacrificed everything and enhances the party reputation. Even the party workers hate those who betrayed the party during its bad time. D Srinivas has sold the b-forms when he was PCC President. He was a TRS covert agent in the Congress party. I hope Danam Nagendar won’t do such mistake.”

Earlier, PCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy and some other senior leaders have stated that it makes no difference if D Srinivas leaves the party. But, indeed it makes huge difference for the Congress party in the state as his departure has created an impression that Congress party is also going to dilute in the Telangana state also the way it is diluting in the AP state. This kind of impression may weaken the party cadre’s self-confidence, the way party cadre in Vizianagaram district feeling deserted, helpless, clueless and alone after Botsa Satyanarayana left the party.

However, the Congress party should realize that merely blaming the outgoing leaders won’t help the party anyway. The senior leaders of the party should chalk out some programs that can keep the party intact and to boost the spirits of the party cadre. They should see how the TDP is trying to strengthen itself in the Telangana state and boosting its cadres spirits by organizing several programs, despite passing thropugh all odds.
