S JAIPAL RADDY PASSED AWAY.

 

Former Union Minister and senior Congress leader S Jaipal Reddy passed away on 28th July at the age of 77 in Hyderabad. He was a four-time Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) and five-time Member of Parliament (MP). He was also a two-time Rajya Sabha MP and was a union minister in three governments. He was admitted to the Asian Institute of Gastroenterology in Gachibowli a week ago and was being treated for high fever in the ICU.

Jaipal Reddy was a good orator and an excellent parliamentarian and he never allowed his physical disability to come in the way of his hectic political career. He had quit the Congress for a brief period in protest against the declaration of emergency by Indira Gandhi and had joined Janata Party.

AIBDPA pays respectful homage to the departed leader and convey heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.
