Jagga Reddy slams Kishan Reddy over comments on CM's response to Gulzar Houz fire
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president T, Jayaprakash Reddy has lambasted Union Minister G Kishan Reddy for his comments against Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy regarding the Gulzar Houz fire. Mr. Jagga Reddy said that the CM had alerted the officials concerned and instructed ministers to oversee relief measures immediately after learning about the incident. Addressing a press conference on Monday, Mr. Jagga Reddy stated, 'Kishan Reddy stopped thinking about what to do and did a dirty job. It's unbecoming of him, acting like a gully leader. I felt sad. He is not the type to do that.' Mr. Jagga Reddy questioned the Union Minister's priorities, citing the Gujarat bridge collapse incident which claimed 140 lives, and wondered why he had not raised similar concerns then. He also mentioned Mr. Kishan Reddy's Bharat Mata Yatra, where two people died due to firecrackers and another person fell into a tank bund, and questioned why the Minister didn't speak out on those tragic incidents. The Congress senior leader suggested that Mr. Kishan Reddy focus on serving the people rather than criticising the CM. He also maintained that the Chief Minister was acting responsibly, unlike other party leaders.

‘Apara Kali' Indira Gandhi fought against Pak despite US pressure: Jagga Reddy
Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president T Jagga Reddy on Monday said that following the latest India-Pakistan confrontation, people were recalling the way former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi responded to the 1971 war with Pakistan. Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan, Jagga Reddy, also a former MLA, said that the decisions taken by Indira Gandhi at that time were appreciated by the whole world, as her actions reflected the collective courage of the nation. 'Even during the face of war, Indira Gandhi did not indulge in criticising the Opposition. In the latest India-Pakistan confrontation, Indira Gandhi's memories were relieved. There is more discussion on her decisions, as she did not give up despite American pressure to stop the war. Indira Gandhi openly said that the decision of the people of India should not be interfered with. Pakistan had to bow down, as there was no choice for it. That's why Atal Bihari Vajpayee famously described her as Apara Kali,' he explained. The former Sangareddy MLA recalled that irrespective of caste and religion, everyone congratulated Indira Gandhi. He said that Indira's charisma was such that people waited for her at public meetings three days prior to her arrival. 'When I was a child, I used to attend RSS shakha. In our house, my mother kept a photo of Durga Mata and we worshipped it, which was kept next to Indira Gandhi's portrait,' he recalled. Ridiculing Eatala Rajender's statements against Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and the Congress party, Jagga Reddy asked him to tell the definition of Randa. He said that the Congress would counter each and every foul word against Revanth Reddy or the party. The PCC working president warned Eatala to watch his words before speaking against the Congress or its leaders.

In 11 years, KCR waived only 20,000 crore. Let the farmers decide who served them better," he said. Defending the Congress govt's welfare measures, Jagga Reddy said farmers were satisfied with the 500 bonus for fine rice. "A farmer cultivating five acres receives a bonus of 75,000. That's a significant benefit," he said. Taking a jibe at the former chief minister, the senior Congress leader added, "KCR says there are problems all over the state. If that's true, why were you sitting at home for 16 months? I wish KCR well—but he should stay in the opposition."
