Revanth Reddy and Chandrababu Naidu share a very special bond. Chandrababu has always encouraged Revanth and the latter has that gratitude towards the former. Beyond professional front, Chandrababu too liked Revanth for his passionate, aggressive approach. And Revanth did keep upto the expectations of Naidu and carved a niche for himself.
Even at a stage when KCR allegedly tried every possible technique, trick to bring Revanth on board for TRS, but Revanth stood like a steady rock against KCR, TRS. Although he was jailed, Revanth decided not to give up and continued his uncompromising battle against TRS.
Revanth always has a high regard for Naidu and treated him as his Guru i.e more than a Boss. This was once again proved as some emotional scenes took place during Revanth’s last meeting with Chandrababu in Amaravati. Revanth’s close aide Vem Narendar Reddy too accompanied Revanth in his meeting with Chandrababu.
After conveying the circumstances that led to his resignation, Revanth gave a formal yet emotional resignation letter to Chandrababu (via his PA). During then, Revanth said to have touched Naidu’s feet as a mark of respect and sought his blessings for his future endeavors.
Chandrababu too apparently got emotional and said to have told Revanth, “Vellipothava?”
Revanth’s eyes filled with moist and he gently replied, “Avunu Sir. Kani Ekkadunna Mee Vadine!”
The exit of Revanth, indeed, sets a new precedent in today’s politics. At a time when many TDP leaders of Telangana have crossed to ruling TRS for political gains and a few even didn’t resign to MLA seats but instead leveled allegations against Chandrababu & TDP, Revanth did an other way round.
Revanth also resigned to his MLA seat that he secured via TDP. On the whole, the episode of Revanth’s exit from TDP conveys a strong lesson to many ‘selfish’ politicians cutting across political parties.
