Sangareddy Legislator T. Jayaprakash Reddy, who is known to express his opinions openly even against his own party leaders, said his only leader was Rahul Gandhi and he would continue to work under his leadership irrespective of who is heading the party in Telangana.
“I am in the Congress for Mr. Rahul Gandhi and the respect I have for the Gandhi family. Whoever wants to spread rumours about me can do so but the party top leadership knows my commitment to the party,” he said while dismissing rumours that he was about to jump ship to join the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS).
Mr. Reddy, who is always in limelight with controversial statements, attributes it to his honesty in politics. Having worked in the TRS, and a short stint with the BJP, and later with the Congress, he could catch the attention of Mr. Rahul Gandhi with his boldness.
