CM urges scheme beneficiaries to vote for Cong. in MLC polls

Revanth Reddy highlighted that women have benefitted from free RTC bus travel under the Mahalakshmi scheme, crop loan waivers, and programmes under Skill University, Rythu Bharosa, and Self-Help Groups, among others. He emphasised that the Congress government has implemented a range of welfare schemes and development projects that have benefitted lakhs of people and created more than 50,000 government jobs.

In a pointed critique of the Opposition, the Chief Minister questioned BRS leaders, including former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao, K.T. Rama Rao, Kavitha, and Harish Rao, over their vote intentions in the graduates’ MLC election, noting that their candidate was not in the fray. He alleged that the BRS was indirectly supporting the BJP to shield itself from corruption charges linked to various scams, including issues related to phone tampering and an E-car racing scam. Revanth Reddy recalled the pivotal role that graduates and unemployed youth played during the Telangana agitation and reminded them of the Congress government’s efforts in the past year.

The Chief Minister also appealed to the BC community to stand with the Congress, reminding them that it was the party that conducted the BC caste census in 1931 — a move he contrasted with the inaction of BJP leaders Narendra Modi and Bandi Sanjay over the past 12 years. In his remarks, Revanth Reddy accused the BJP of protecting figures accused in the telephone tapping scam and questioned when Bandi Sanjay’s party would bring those individuals back to face arrest alongside KTR and others.

TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud also called on graduates to vote for the Congress candidates in the MLC elections for a brighter future. Several ministers — including IT minister D. Sridhar Babu, rural development minister Seethakka — and MLAs K. Premsagar Rao, Gaddam Vivek, Vinod, Vedma Bojju, Satyanarayana Rao of Bhupalapalli, and Sriganesh of Cantonment, along with MLC Dande Vittal, DCC president K. Surekha, and senior leaders Janak Prasad, Kotnak Tirupati, Suguana, Ravali, Kandi Srinivas, ADE Gajender, Shyam Naik, Vishwaprasad, and Ravi Srinivas were present at the event.
