Reddy, who moved to TDP from Congress a couple of years back, said, “When I was in Congress I suggested to Sonia Gandhi that Rahul needs the support of UP Brahmins. The brahmin community is ruling in UP. That is why I suggested to her that get Rahul married to a good Brahmin girl. But Sonia Gandhi didn’t listen to me.” The video was recored on July 4, in which Reddy made this comment.

It is reported that in May this year, just before the Assembly elections in Karnataka, there were rumours that Rae Bareli Sadar Aditi Singh had proposed to Rahul. Annoyed, Aditi later said that Rahul is like a brother figure to her and these are just propaganda floated by the opposition. According to reports, even the duo’s photographs were circulated in the social media, saying that Sonia Gandhi was in talks with Aditi’s family to finalise the wedding.
