“There will be no personal damage in politics, but the damage caused by individuals will ruin the entire system. Our survival in politics depends entirely on upholding and preserving the integrity of the system,” Revanth Reddy told MLAs during the Congress Legislative Party (CLP) meeting here on Monday.
