Revanth Reddy urged voters to support the Congress in the Jubilee Hills Assembly bypoll, stating that a victory would allow the government to demonstrate real development in the constituency.
He recalled the events following PJR’s death, claiming that several political parties, including the TDP and BJP, had set aside rivalries out of respect and supported the idea of nominating a family member unopposed. “Only KCR refused to support that move,” he alleged.

The Chief Minister accused former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao of violating democratic conventions. “Others showed political maturity by respecting PJR’s family in their time of grief. KCR alone chose confrontation,” Revanth said.
