Uttam Lobbied Hard for CM Post, But Reddys Backed Revanth as Stronger KCR Challenger
- Uttam Kumar Reddy lobbied for CM post until last minute, citing his experience
- Uttam tried influencing Congress high command through Reddy lobby and industrialists
- He sought support by saying he could protect Reddy interests
- Reddys sympathized but said Revanth did more work and was seen as KCR alternative
- Reddys warned Uttam that revolting now would only benefit BRS by splitting Congress
