"There is no proposal either from the party side or from Mahesh's side regarding his entry into active politics by joining Congress," clarified Ranga Reddy.
Reacting to the reports in a section of media about Mahesh joining the Congress party, Ranga Reddy said,"What I said in the past was that Adiseshagiri Rao (Mahesh's Uncle) have been given a good position for serving the Congress. If Mahesh joins the party, he would also be rewarded with a suitable position. I never said that Mahesh will join the Congress party".
Ranga Reddy also reminded that Congress party has always given due respect to the film personalities who joined the party, whether it was Purandeshwari or Dasari and even Chiranjeevi is no exception. "Chandrababu is applying the 'Use-and-Throw' policy on the family members of NTR. But, Congress would never treat Mahesh Babu like a 'curry leaf'," he asserted.
