Jagtial Shocker: Senior Leader T. Jeevan Reddy Quits Congress, Set to Join BRS

Hyderabad/Jagtial, March 24, 2026 In a major political development in Telangana, senior leader and former minister T. Jeevan Reddy has resigned from the Congress party, signalling his shift towards the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). The move has triggered intense debate across political circles, especially in Jagtial, where he holds significant influence. Sources indicate that growing internal differences within the Congress and dissatisfaction over local leadership dynamics played a key role in his decision. Jeevan Reddy, a long-time Congress loyalist with decades of political experience, had earlier hinted at a major decision regarding his future after Ugadi. Political observers see this shift as a strategic gamble. While some view it as a survival move amid changing political equations in Telangana, others criticize it as a departure from long-held ideological commitments. The development is expected to impact the political balance in Jagtial and surrounding regions. For the Congress, the exit of a senior face may dent cadre morale, while the BRS could gain an experienced leader with a strong grassroots network. As Telangana’s political landscape continues to evolve, all eyes are now on how this move reshapes local equations and whether Jeevan Reddy can regain political momentum in his new innings.
