Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy made a direct appeal in Hyderabad on Thursday, calling on citizens to back Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the next general elections. Addressing the birth anniversary celebrations of Telangana folk hero Pandaga Sayanna Mudiraj, Reddy asserted that true backward class empowerment hinges entirely on Rahul Gandhi taking the helm as Prime Minister. The political maneuver aims to cement regional allegiance ahead of high-stakes national power shifts.
Shifting focus to local governance demands, the Chief Minister moved swiftly to appease the Mudiraj community. He announced the formation of a Cabinet sub-committee tasked with examining the long-standing demand to include the Mudiraj community in the BC-A category. Reddy pointed out that previous reclassifications stalled due to a lack of accurate data, promising a comprehensive study before the next Cabinet meeting.
It is my responsibility to ensure that the Mudiraj community becomes a partner in the government.
Reddy also highlighted proactive political appointments made under his watch, noting the elevation of Vakiti Srihari Mudiraj to District Congress Committee president, party ticket holder, and eventual Cabinet minister. He instructed Minister Ponnam Prabhakar to pursue an MLC ticket for a Mudiraj representative with TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud. Beyond political posts, the administration confirmed plans to install statues of historical resistance figures Pandaga Sayanna and Doddi Komaraiah on Hyderabad’s Tank Bund.
Detailing broader state interventions, the Chief Minister cataloged an expansive welfare agenda. Fine-quality rice reaches 3.48 crore people via the public distribution system, alongside ongoing construction of Indiramma houses across rural districts. Reddy noted that administrative continuity persists as his government maintains welfare initiatives originally introduced by former Chief Ministers N.T. Rama Rao, N. Chandrababu Naidu, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, and K. Chandrashekar Rao, reinforcing regional ties across political divides.
