Revenue minister Raghuveera Reddy has condemned the news that he would join YSR Congress party. Terming the news as baseless, Raghuveera has said that a few people allegedly indulged in rumours and said there was no truth in the news that he would leave Congress to join YSRC. To make a point, Raghuveera has even said that he be banished from the society in case he joins Jaganmohan Reddy's YSR Congress party.

It may be noted that Raghuveera Reddy earlier pitched his voice in support of Jaganmohan Reddy and his proposed chief minister's candidature after the death of YSR. Speaking on this, Raghuveera on Friday said although he then supported Jagan, he cut the contacts with Jagan after he left the party.
