Revanth Reddy Marks 20 Years in Politics at Midjil Thanksgiving Rally

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy addressed a massive Thanksgiving rally (Krutagnatha Sabha) in Midjil Mandal, Nagarkurnool district, to mark his 20-year milestone in politics. During the event, the Chief Minister requested Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka to officially adopt the historically neglected Midjil Mandal to ensure its rapid development, while also launching a sharp attack on the assets of the KCR family.

Reflecting on his political journey, which began on July 4, 2006, Reddy emotionalized his deep roots with the local public. He stated that the political "sapling" planted by the people of Midjil two decades ago has now grown into a mighty tree leading the state.

Reddy recalled that he won his first major election as an Independent ZPTC candidate from Midjil in 2006, despite it not being his native constituency. During his speech, 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.

He expressed his gratitude to the local public, stating that the unconditional trust the people of Midjil placed in him as an independent outsider twenty years ago is the sole reason he stands before them as Chief Minister today. Noting that the region was tagged as a backward "dark mandal" in 2006, he publicly requested Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka to officially adopt the mandal for its development.

Shifting focus to his administration's governance, Reddy launched a scathing attack on former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and the previous BRS regime. 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 caste census, against what he termed as unfulfilled promises by the BRS. He alleged that the previous government pushed the state from Rs 70,000 crores of debt into a staggering crisis of Rs 8.50 lakh crores.

The Chief Minister concluded his speech by raising sharp questions regarding the assets of the KCR family. He questioned 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.
