The Congress party leaders are surprised that Vijayashanti is silent and nowhere to be seen in the party programs even after she is given the post of MLC, expecting that her film and political glamour will be very useful for the party and the government.
Although there are many hopefuls, the ruling party leaders are openly discussing that the leadership selected Vijayashanti, though she was not active at that time, but even after getting MLC post not seen anywhere.
While the party is preparing for the local body elections with prestige, there are no chances of her participating in the campaign. She, however, is said to have expected a ministerial post more than the MLC post, and since she did not get it, she is angry with the party even after getting the post of MLC.
Vijayashanti, who is associated with the Telangana movement, has previously worked in BRS and BJP. She joined the Congress before the 2023 assembly elections. With that, the party assigned key responsibilities in the campaign committee. After coming to power, Vijayashanti became completely silent.
The party leadership expected that she would become a fire brand for the party if she were given the post of MLC in the MLA quota. But surprisingly staying away from the party leaders and cadre. Vijayashanti, who participated in the press meet along with everyone as a formality on the day she became an MLC, has stayed away from the media since then.
She was not seen anywhere except at the recent CLP meeting held at the Shamshabad Novotel Hotel and the Bharat Summit held at the HICC. Vijayashanti does not respond to the schemes being run by the government in the state or to the criticisms being made by the opposition parties.
While the Congress leaders are campaigning that the Telangana Congress government has become a role model for the country, especially in terms of providing 42 percent reservation for BCs, she has not spoken out anywhere, which is making the party leaders confused.
Many Congress leaders are criticizing the party leadership, saying that this is what would happen if leaders who worked hard for the party were left behind and inactive leaders were given positions.
