AICC Chief Rahul Gandhi has taken a decision to let N Uttam Kumar Reddy continue as the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) chief.
Congress leader Janardhan Dwiwedi issued orders to this effect.
The Congress cadre in Gandhi Bhavan celebrated the news and distributed sweets.
However, it was not a day of just encomiums for the Telangana Congress boss. Reacting to his criticism against the sand mafia, Telangana IT minister K Taraka Rama Rao alleged that the sand mafia took birth during the previous Congress regime. In an opprobrious reference to Reddy, HTR also said that one only became a sanyasi by growing a beard.
