In a surprising twist, Bandi Sanjay, BJP leader, was very generous of him to say such nice things about Congress Leader Komatireddy Venkata Reddy and to call him a “good fellow” and “simple-minded”. He even said he was willing to work with him. This unusual praise was during an event in Adilabad where Union Minister Nitin Gadkari was present to inaugurate major development projects in Telangana.
Bandi Sanjay addressed the crowd, paused for a moment to recognize Komatireddy’s work, particularly with Gadkari on development projects, especially in the Nalgonda district. The reference to Komatireddy seemed odd in the context of the interaction, but I surmise it was meant as a way to recognize his important contributions to the region.
Bandi Sanjay is often known for not complimenting Congress leaders publicly; so his public compliment provided astonishment from all recognized. He typically does not do that, as it creates mixed messages, especially in this political climate. His abrupt action of spontaneous recognition was received with scrutiny, and many are left to ponder if still there is a political angle or was it just a sincere compliment of Komatireddy’s dedicated to his community.
This surprise appreciation has been the talk of the town in BJP circles, with everyone wondering what the real motive behind Sanjay’s words is. Whether it is a part of a grand political game or simply an honest appreciation of Komatireddy’s work remains to be seen.
