In a significant political move, Ali Masqati, the former Vice President of the Telangana state TDP and the son of the late Ibrahim bin Abdulla Masqati, has officially crossed party lines to join the Congress. This pivotal moment unfolded during the Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting held in Hyderabad, where Ali Masqati made his affiliation shift. The event was graced by the presence of several eminent Congress leaders, including AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge and TPCC President Revanth Reddy, as well as other prominent members of the Congress party.
Watch
Ali Masqati’s decision to join Congress follows his prior electoral bid as a TDP candidate, where he contested in the 2018 elections. Unfortunately, he faced defeat in that race, losing to an AIMIM candidate in the Charminar constituency. With this change in party allegiance, there is now speculation and hope that Ali Masqati may once again enter the political fray by contesting from the Charminar constituency, this time as a Congress candidate.
Adding to the political reshuffle, several other notable individuals have also joined the Congress party. These include Mahaboobnagar Ex MLA Yennam Srinivas Reddy, Khammam Corporator Dodda Nagesh, and Upender Reddy of Jubilee Hills constituency.
This development is expected to have far-reaching implications in the dynamic political landscape of Telangana. Stay with us tuned for further updates on this evolving political story.
