Amid talk of parties opposed to
The former Union Minister said last week's swearing in of H D Kumaraswamy as the Karnataka chief minister, heading the JDS-Congress government, marked the beginning of coming together of parties opposed to the BJP and it indicates the "shape of things to come."
He termed the contradictions in such anti-BJP front as "very minor."
Asked whether the proposed front has to be led by the Congress, he said, "Congress is the single biggest party. Why bother about it (on who should lead it) now?"
On whether the Congress should project its President Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial candidate, Reddy said, "Where is the question of projection? He is the president of our party. Let there be a front, we shall then see.As far as the Congress party is concerned, Rahul Gandhi is the only leader."

On critics pointing to several prime ministerial aspirants among parties in the proposed anti-BJP front, Reddy said, "It's bound to be. It's a democracy. Without some kind of struggle, there cannot be democratic process."
