During his visit to Hyderabad, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh met with several party leaders in order to resolve the crisis of a potential rebellion against TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy.
He sat with senior Congress leaders who were upset with Revanth Reddy and were seeking his ouster by saying that all leaders in the party, regardless of seniority, are considered equal.
Speaking at a press conference on several issues on Friday, Digvijaya claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is attempting to halt the Bharat Jodo Yatra in the name of COVID-19 because the Yatra received a massive response from the people.
He claimed that under the BJP’s rule, unemployment and price increases are rampant, and that they are fueling communal riots in the country.
The leader accused the BJP government of using central agencies such as the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation to suppress opposition parties.
The Congress leader also claimed that the Bharata Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and AIMIM are indirectly supporting the BJP in parliament, and that people have lost faith in both the central and state governments.
He alleged that the central government is ignoring medical emergencies in the country but trying to stop the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

It should be mentioned that crisis gripped Congress after a group of dissident leaders held a meeting on December 17 and voiced their unhappiness over packing up the party panels with the leaders who came to Congress from other parties.
In what is seen as an open revolt against TPCC president A. Revanth Reddy, who himself joined Congress after resigning from Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in 2017, the group decided to launch the save Congress movement in the state. They termed it a fight between real Congress and the migrants from other parties.
The crisis deepened a day later when 13 leaders, considered loyal to Revanth Reddy, decided to quit party posts. A couple of leaders, who were unhappy over not being inducted into the panels, also resigned.
The dissident group had called a meeting on December 20 to decide the future course of action. However, the high command intervened to stop the group from holding the meeting.
