End of Venkataram Reddy's dream?

End of Venkataram Reddy's dream?

The recent arrest of Venkataram Reddy, the owner of Deccan Chronicle might well be the final nail in the coffin of his political aspirations.

Reddy known for his extravagant lifestyle had harbored hopes of becoming an MP in the lines of his father, Chandrasekhar Reddy who was a Congress MP.

He nearly realized this dream of his during the tenure of YSR and Kiran Kumar Reddy. However, his inclination to rely on his clout at Delhi rather than asking YSR or Kiran directly for support became a stumbling block, says an analyst.

The arrest by the CBI has tarnished his reputation and will result in his dream of becoming an MP, remain a dream, says the analyst. Another political commentator disagrees.

“If being arrested means you can’t enter Parliament, then none of the current lot in Parliament deserve to be there. Venkataram will emerge from this episode unscathed and stronger.”
