Revanth Reddy Marks 20 Years in Politics, Back at Midjil Roots
He concluded his speech with sharp questions aimed at the assets of the KCR family
NAGARKURNOOL: Marking a significant milestone in his political career, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy returned to Midjil Mandal in Nagarkurnool district to address a massive Thanksgiving rally (Krutagnatha Sabha). Reflecting on his two-decade journey, the Chief Minister emotionalized his deep roots with the local public, stating that the political "sapling" planted by the people of Midjil on July 4, 2006, has today grown into a mighty tree leading the state.
Recalling his entry intoBurgula Ramakrishna Rao, Revanth Reddy reminded the gathering that he won his first major election as an Independent ZPTC candidate from Midjil in 2006, despite it not being his native constituency. He paid tribute to the rich political legacy of the Mahabubnagar region, invoking legendary stalwarts like Burgula Ramakrishna Rao, the first Chief Minister of Hyderabad State, and former Union Minister Jaipal Reddy.
"The unconditional trust the people of Midjil placed in an independent outsider twenty years ago is the sole reason I stand before you as Chief Minister today," Reddy said. Highlighting the historical neglect of the region which was tagged as a backward 'dark mandal' in 2006 the Chief Minister publicly requested Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka to officially adopt Midjil Mandal to ensure its rapid development.
Shifting focus to his administration's governance versus the previous BRS regime, Revanth Reddy launched a scathing attack on former CM K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR). He accused the previous government of systemic feudal arrogance, citing the alleged mistreatment of iconic Telangana activist Gaddar, and the suppression of Dalit protestors in Nerella.
Reddy contrasted his government’s welfare schemes, such as the Indiramma Indlu housing initiative and the nationwide trailblazing caste census, against what he termed as unfulfilled promises by the BRS.
"The previous government pushed a state with ₹70,000 crores of debt into a staggering crisis of ₹8.50 lakh crores," the Chief Minister alleged. He concluded his speech with sharp questions aimed at the assets of the KCR family, asking how the top leadership of the BRS managed to acquire vast farmhouses and thousands of crores worth of land while the common public was denied basic housing and employment over the last decade.
