I know hardships a mother faces when her husband dies while children still young: Jagga Reddy

Hyderabad: Telangana PCC working president T Jagga Reddy on Thursday elaborated on reasons for making a film on party senior leader Sonia Gandhi, saying ’I know the hardships a mother faces when her husband dies while the children are still young; I learned that from my own mother; that is why I decided to make the film based on Sonia’s biography’ Reddy stated that ‘I will discuss the film project with Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, TPCC President B Mahesh Kumar Goud, and close Cabinet ministers; will release the movie by December 9 next year; my real-life character will appear in the film for about five minutes’. According to him, Sonia chronicled her life journey in a book; she has a history of leading the party and serving people while upholding the ideals of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi.

Reddy remarked that ‘RSS leaders often preach that every woman should be respected as a mother; yet, they criticise Sonia; is this their ideology? Sonia gave Telangana; should she be the one to write about it in her book? we, who benefited from it, should write about Sonia’.

On BRS criticism of Sonia, he sought to know whether ’BRS leaders do not have even this much foresight? it is unbecoming of Boyinpalli Vinod Kumar, who comes from a respected family, to indulge in such cheap politics; Sonia declined the opportunity to become PM three times, showing remarkable foresight; instead, she enabled P V Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh to become PMs; YS Rajasekhara Reddy, Rosaiah, Kiran Kumar Reddy, KCR, and Revanth Reddy became CM because of Sonia”.

Referring to BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, Reddy quipped ‘she is not a leader; she is an actor’.
