Peddapalli: Factional differences within the Congress party in Telangana’s Peddapalli district are reportedly intensifying, with tensions emerging between the camp led by Minister D. Sridhar Babu and supporters of Peddapalli MP Gaddam Vamsi Krishna.
The dispute has reportedly triggered discontent among Vamsi Krishna’s supporters, who allege that the MP is being sidelined by fellow Congress leaders and is not being treated with due respect, even as a party worker.
Political discussions in Peddapalli suggest that differences between Sridhar Babu and former Union Minister G. Vivek Venkataswamy may have contributed to the strained relations between the minister and Vamsi Krishna, Vivek’s son. However, the extent of the impact of these earlier differences on the current dispute has not been independently established.

According to the allegations, leaders including Makkhan Singh Thakur, Vijay Ramana Rao, Adluri Laxman and Sridhar Babu are seen as belonging to one camp, which Vamsi Krishna’s supporters claim has been sidelining the MP.
