Congress sources at Delhi said 'Sonia Gandhi had only laughed and said that 'Idiot , he has totally mad now', when informed about TSR's resignation and told p[arty leaders to not bother about it.TSR has been a great fan of the Gandhi family from the days of Idira Gandhi . He is popular and also sought after by congress leaders of north to broker deals with congress party leaders and also in film industry and never considered seriously as a politician .'Who does not know that Reddy, he is useful for things other than politics 'Ahmed Patel had said recently as quoted by D Purandareswari ,who had been heckled by the Reddy to give up Visakhapatnam loks abha seat to him.
But for the support of the congress party and influence in upper circles of the party, TSR could have been in jail for black marketing cement in the construction of the Nagarjunasagar reservior.So now who will TSR look to for his support in huge business activitiees in which he has bank loans arrears of over Rs.7000 crore ?.
