Observing that he would serve the country using his experience, Reddy said he aims to see Rahul Gandhi become PM. He added that he would be content with whatever role Gandhi assigns him in the future.

He also said that Rahul Gandhi would be the prime ministerial candidate of the INDIA bloc in the next Lok Sabha elections.
