REDDY-CONG 2LST

Union Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh said that Reddy's
example of fast execution of projects was worth emulation for
all Chief Ministers.

Deshmukh said the chief minister was a gentle
personality, who was always ready to cooperate and find a way
out of even ticklish situations.

Condoling Reddy's death, Deshmukh said he was a mass
leader whose 4,000 km padyatra brought the party to power in
the state in 2004 and his work ensured that he repeated the
feat in the just concluded elections.
