BM Sandeep Appointed as New Telangana Congress In-Charge

The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has ended the suspense over the appointment of a new in-charge for Telangana Congress affairs by naming BM Sandeep to the post. The appointment, approved by AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge, will come into immediate effect, party general secretary KC Venugopal announced in a statement on Saturday. The change follows the departure of Meenakshi Natarajan, who had been handling Telangana affairs and is travelling abroad for higher studies. The party leadership also acknowledged and appreciated her services.

Several prominent names were reportedly considered for the position, including former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and senior Congress leaders Mukul Wasnik and Manikrao Thakare. However, the party high command eventually selected BM Sandeep to take charge of Telangana affairs. He will now oversee the party’s organisational activities and political affairs in the state.
