TPCC Media and Publicity Wing Chairman and MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy has clarified that the appointments of media panelists, coordinators and official spokespersons have not been stalled, asserting that a revised list with additional names would be released within the next two to three days.

It may be recalled that the Telangana Congress had put on hold the appointments of 20 media panelists, coordinators and official spokespersons announced by Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy. The development had triggered confusion and speculation within the party.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Chamala clarified that there were no differences between him and TPCC President B Mahesh Kumar Goud. He said the list had been prepared jointly by both of them, but its release was temporarily held up due to a minor technical issue. He asserted that the exercise had not been abandoned and that an expanded list incorporating additional names would be announced shortly.

The MP remarked that some people could not tolerate positive initiatives. Acknowledging that a few MLAs had contacted him over the appointments, he urged them not to obstruct the process of assigning responsibilities to those actively working for the party.

He observed that some MLAs appeared insecure and anxious, with a few expressing concern that the list had been finalised without their knowledge. He advised them to focus on identifying and grooming new leaders rather than raising objections to the appointments.
