The Congress is making an attempt to make a comeback in the state with the appointment of President of the party state unit in Telangana. In this context, the name of the former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin was proposed by chief strategist Prashant Kishore to Vice President Rahul Gandhi.

This move of the Congress in Telangana comes after choosing Raj Babbar as the face of the party in the run-up to the elections in the state of Uttar Pradesh, defying the odds placed on other Gandhi family members. The northern state goes to polls in 2017.

Along with the former captain, several other candidates like Shanti, have also been proposed to take over as the Telangana Pradesh Congress President. The list goes on with speculation of Shabbir Ali,  DK Aruna,  Geeta Reddy and  Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.

Capt. Uttam Kumar Reddy is trying his level best to consolidate Congress Party unit in Telangana but is facing resistance from party command in Delhi over the poor performance in wake of defections to TRS.  As the reorganization is happening in Telangana Congress, the former captain was contacted by media but refrained from divulging any updates.
