As reported earlier, Congress high command nominates Uttam Kumar Reddy as the new PCC President and Mallu Batti Vikramarka as the new working president of the party for the Telangana state. Although, it did not give any specific reasons for replacing Ponnala Lakshmaiah, it is not a big secret that it is succumbed to the pressures of its Telangana leaders, who have been demanding for his removal from the day one. However, majority of them are still disgruntled with the fresh appointments also. Now, Ponnala Lakshmaiah also may join the dissident group for unceremoniously pulling down him from his chair.

Comparatively, the Congress party in the Telangana state appears to be stronger and active than its counterpart of the AP State. But, interestingly Congress high command has replaced the T-PCC President but spares the AP PCC President Raghuveera Reddy, who let the party reputation ruin further by fielding the party candidates in the bye-elections.

However, a big challenge is awaiting the new T-PCC President Uttam Kumar Reddy. He has to lead the party to victory in the upcoming GHMC and Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation elections. If he could pocket at least one corporation then no one in the party may dare to challenge him at least for few months otherwise it will be the beginning of his down slide.
