Revanth Reddy, who is presently working as the PCC president, is a dynamic leader, who campaigned in these elections extensively with other senior leaders like Nalgonda MP Uttam Kumar and current CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Venugopal said.
The selection of the new CLP leader had turned out to be a task for the AICC as several meetings were convened, including one at Kharge’s residence in New Delhi on Tuesday morning.
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, AICC General Secretary KC Venugopal, AICC Telangana incharge Manikrao Thakare and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shiva Kumar participated in the meeting.
“The decision has been taken,” Rahul Gandhi said earlier, categorically adding that it was Revanth Reddy, according to media reports.
Soon after the meeting, DK Shiva Kumar flew to Hyderabad to handover the sealed cover to Congress Legislature Party (CLP) here in Hyderabad.
