An informal chat with media persons on the premises of Assembly here on Thursday, Rajagopal Reddy said that he was assured by the Congress leadership that an opportunity will be given in the cabinet.

“I strongly desire the portfolio of Home department. I came back to the Congress party aimed at defeating the BRS party in the Assembly elections. The goal of defeating KCR has been achieved.

“If I am the Home Minister, then BRS leaders will be in control. Majority of the BRS leaders, including KCR, KT Rama Rao,

Harish Rao, Kavitha, Santhosh Rao and Jagadish Reddy are sure to go to jail,” Munugode MLA Rajagopal Reddy said.

He further stated that his family members are not asking the Congress high commond to grant a ticket for contesting in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.            

“My brother is a Minister, and I am MLA. If another person from our family contests, it will be the wrong indication among the people. So, we don’t want to contest in the Lok Sabha elections. However, If the Congress high command party orders our family member to contest, we will definitely think over it,” Rajagopal Reddy disclosed.
