Speaking at the 34th anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Yatra at the historic Charminar on Saturday, he credited the Gandhi family for its sacrifices in upholding the unity and integrity of the nation. While the BJP always tried to divide the country on communal lines, the Gandhi family countered such moves by promoting peace, unity, and brotherhood. He said it was Rajiv Gandhi who initiated Sadbhavana Yatra 34 years back to negate the communal agenda. Similarly, he said Rahul Gandhi initiated the Bharat Jodo Yatra to integrate the country.
Uttam Kumar Reddy hailed the contributions of the Nehru-Gandhi family. He appreciated how martyrdom came to Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi for the unity of the nation and how Sonia Gandhi self-sacrificingly gave up her prime chance at becoming the Prime Minister in the UPA regime. And when it came to Sonia Gandhi’s political will coming in handy during the formation of Telangana, he said that was a big political sacrifice made despite the chances of likely loss of Congress power in Andhra Pradesh.

He pointed out that the BJP was trying to split the nation on communal lines and asked people to be on their guard against parties that sought to religiously divide them. “The BJP is trying to create a communal divide, and we must all be wary of their divisive politics,” he said. He asked the Congress party workers to remain focused on the mission of unity and communal harmony that the Sadbhavana Yatra launched by Rajiv Gandhi had kept alive.
Former minister Dr J. Geetha Reddy who is conferred with the Rajiv Gandhi Sadbhavana Award was hailed by Uttam Kumar Reddy. He welcomed Geetha Reddy’s decision giving up the lucrative medical career in Saudi Arabia to join politics on a call of Rajiv Gandhi. She was elected four times as MLA and held the ministerial portfolios of great responsibility though she did not contest recent elections due to health issues. He appreciated her unwavering decades-long commitment to Gandhian values and public life.
