The meeting, which took place late Friday night, is believed to have been convened to address grievances regarding the behavior of a Cabinet Minister. Sources indicate that the MLAs, primarily from the erstwhile Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, and Warangal regions, were frustrated with the Minister’s lack of response to their concerns and the delays in executing key development projects in their constituencies.
Grievances and Complaints Spark Tensions
According to reports, the MLAs discussed the ongoing neglect they feel from the Minister, particularly regarding the delay in the release of funds for developmental works. Furthermore, multiple sources pointed to allegations of bribery or commission demands from party leaders to clear pending bills, adding to the growing tensions within the Congress ranks.

In the lead-up to the gathering, two of the MLAs are said to have met with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to voice their concerns. The MLA meeting, which lasted for nearly two hours, involved at least seven to ten members, although conflicting reports have emerged about the exact number.
