Has Revanth Reddy Lost His Stature Due To His Resignation Drama?:- The former TDP leader and Kodangal MLA A Revanth Reddy is now losing his stature fast and all credit goes to his resignation drama. As we all know, the firebrand Telangana leader gained the heroic image by quitting the Telugu Desam Party and joined the Congress on October 31.

And instead of submitting his resignation letter to Telangana assembly speaker S Madhusudhana Chary, he has claimed to have submitted his resignation letter from the assembly seat to TDP president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. Revanth thought it as a strategic move and doing this would put Naidu as well as Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao in an embarrassing situation, as both the Chief Ministers of the Telugu states have admitted defectors from other parties without seeking their resignations.

But, the TDP leadership has instead given him a blow.

“Revanth has not submitted his resignation to Naidu at all. He just met Naidu and said good bye. We do not know to whom he gave the resignation letter. If he is sincere, he should have given the letter to the Speaker,” Telangana TDP president L Ramana said.

What Revanth wanted to achieve by submitting the resignation to the chief minister of the neighbouring state, wondered another TDP leader.

“It is as good as giving the resignation letter to Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik. It doesn’t make sense,” he observed.

Revanth Reddy still continues to be an MLA, even though he tried to put up a brave face by surrendering his gunmen to the assembly and stopped attending the House.

“This has brought down his image completely. He was a tiger in the TDP and now, he is not even a cat in the Congress,” the TDP leader observed.
