Meanwhile, praising late Congress leader and former union minister S. Jaipal Reddy, an ex-MLA from Kalwakurthi, Revanth Reddy said, Senior Congress leader S. Jaipal Reddy continued in public life till his last breath, whether he was in power or in opposition.
He said that Jaipal Reddy strictly believed in his principles and pursued a political career accordingly. The national leader brought laurels to every post he stepped into. Jaipal Reddy gave priority to values in politics, he added.
Furthermore, he added that the grand old party would have formed the government after the 2014 assembly elections if Jaipal Reddy had been announced as the CM candidate in Telangana.
