Remember Ashwatthama Reddy? Yes. He was the chief of the Telangana Mazdoor Union which had ruled the roost in the TPRTC. He was considered the blue eyed boy of the TRS. But, later, he fell out with the TRS on the issue of RTC strike. KCR ensured that Reddy was edged out of the RTC.
Where is Ashwatthama Reddy these days? The latest news about him is that he is all set to join the BJP. Sources said that he has met Bandi Sanjay and discussed the latest politics. If sources are to be believed, he has been promised party ticket to contest from Wanaparthi. He has been told to work out and build an organizational structure in the constituency. Ashwatthama Reddy is said to be working out a strategy to contest the elections from Wanaparthy.
Ashwatthama Reddy has unofficially helped the BJP during the recent MLC elections in Mahabubnagar area. He would soon officially join the BJP and will don the saffron stole around his shoulders. Ashwatthama Reddy, the BJP feels, would be useful in channelizing the anger and discontent among the RTC employees who feel cheated by KCR.
