We are family,says uncle after meeting Jagan

The minister met Jagan,who arrived here from Kadapa district this morning,at the latter’s residence.

After the meeting,Vivekananda Reddy told reporters,”Take the example of late Madhav Rao Scindia,who was in the Congress. His mother was in another party. Similarly,we may have political differences,but we are part of one family.”

Jagan had alleged that the party high command sought to effect a split in the family by offering a Cabinet berth to his uncle. Reddy declared loyalty to the Congress high command,much against the wishes of Jagan,and joined the Kiran Kumar Reddy Cabinet yesterday. He was given the crucial Agriculture portfolio.
