Soon after the results are announced on Saturday, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) president, Ms Sonia Gandhi, called the Chief Minister, Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, over phone and congratulated him over the 157 seats ‘tremendous’ performance of the party in the polls.
“It is your personal victory. The Congress has gained the needed majority on its own to form the government in the State and the credit is yours,” Ms Gandhi is stated to have told the Chief Minister. She also expressed happiness over the party’s contribution of 33 seats to the Lok Sabha from the State.
She is understood to have particularly referred to Dr Reddy’s victory in the polls despite the defeat of heavy weights like the PCC chief, Mr D Srinivas, the Speaker, Mr K R Suresh Reddy, and some senior ministers.
