Is the Congress helping the TRS in cornering Nizamabad’s firebrand BJP MP Dharmapuri Aravind? Insiders say yes. The other day, the Congress leaders, led by Revanth Reddy, staged a dharna at Armoor in undivided Nizamabad and demanded that Aravind resign from the MP post as he has failed in getting turmeric board for Nizamabad.
Those in the know say that there is some kind of tacit understanding between the Congress and the TRS on attacking D Aravind. The reason is simple, say the analysts. Aravind is on one hand poaching into the Congress Party using his father D Srinivas’s contacts. On the other, he is attacking the TRS right, left and centre. But, TRS cannot attack him on the issue of turmeric board as KCR’s daughter, then MP and now MLC Kalwakuntla Kavitha too promised a turmeric board and failed to get one for Nizamabad. So, it is said to be using the Congress to attack Aravind. Anti-DS group in the Congress is said to be in the forefront in attacking D Aravind.
Sources in both the Congress and the TRS say that Aravind is getting stronger in the BJP by each passing day. He is said to be the chief backer of state president Bandi Sanjay and is said to be playing a key role in getting Munnuru Kapus closer to the BJP. Hence this double attack on D Aravind.
