Unveiling the Statue
Speaking after unveiling a statue of Rajiv Gandhi in front of the Secretariat, Reddy remarked there was no issue in situating Gandhi's statue alongside former Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and PV Narasimha Rao as well as the Martyrs' Memorial. He noted the Gandhi family has not pursued political positions post-Rajiv's demise, setting an example for selflessness.
Political Context
While asserting that the ceremony wasn't intended for political discourse, Reddy criticized the BRS for its opposition to the statue's installation. “Let the BRS declare the date for relocating the statue. They will be taught a fitting lesson,” he commented.
