Mahesh Kumar Goud is likely to be appointed as the new president of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC). The decision comes after the high command of the Congress party decided to revamp the state unit leadership.
Goud, a senior leader and former MLA, has been a strong contender for the post. He has been instrumental in strengthening the party in the state and has a strong connect with the grassroots workers.
The current TPCC chief, Uttam Kumar Reddy, has been asked to step down, and Goud’s name has been cleared by the high command. The formal announcement is expected soon.
The development comes at a time when the Congress party is trying to revive its fortunes in Telangana, where it has been out of power since 2014. The party has been facing internal squabbles and has struggled to take on the ruling TRS.
Goud’s appointment is seen as a move to infuse new energy into the party and prepare it for the next assembly elections. His leadership is expected to bring stability and unity to the party, which has been lacking in recent times.
The Congress high command has been keen on strengthening the party in Telangana, and Goud’s appointment is a step in that direction. His experience and connect with the people are expected to help the party regain its lost ground in the state.
