Minister Ponnam in a Fix: Brother-in-law Denied Ticket, Threatens Rebellion in Jangaon Polls

• Minister Ponnam Prabhakar's brother-in-law, Peddi Naveen Kumar Goud, was denied a Congress ticket for the Jangaon Municipal elections' 6th ward.
• Naveen Kumar Goud aimed to contest and become Municipal Chairman, but local Congress leaders objected to him being a 'non-local' from Hanamkonda.
• Despite efforts by Minister Ponnam, TPCC Chief Mahesh Goud, and MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy, the high command denied the ticket due to local pressure.
• Bukka Bala Bharadwaj, a loyal party member who previously sacrificed for the party, was confirmed as the candidate for the 6th ward.
• Naveen Kumar Goud is considering contesting as an independent, potentially creating a dilemma for Minister Ponnam and internal family political differences.

Why It Matters: Minister Ponnam faces a tough situation as his brother-in-law's denied ticket leads to potential rebellion in Jangaon elections.
