HYDERABAD: Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy addressed a public gathering at Station Ghanpur, highlighting the state’s development plans and criticizing the previous administration.
He praised the Warangal region as a center of consciousness and recalled the active role played by the people and university students of the undivided district during the Telangana movement.
The Chief Minister announced that ₹6,500 crore had been sanctioned for various development projects in Warangal, including a railway coach factory, an outer ring road, and an underground drainage system. He assured that Warangal would be developed on par with Hyderabad.
Revanth Reddy also criticized the financial mismanagement of the previous administration, stating that dues of ₹8.29 lakh crore had been left unpaid, with only ₹1.53 lakh crore actually settled. He argued that if this money had been managed properly, every homeless person could have been provided with a house and an additional 70 lakh farmers could have benefited from loan waivers.
Speaking on welfare initiatives, he highlighted that 1.5 crore women had availed free bus travel, with the government allocating ₹5,005 crore for the scheme. He also pointed out that 50 lakh families were receiving 200 units of free electricity and that ₹20,610 crore had been spent on farmer loan waivers.
Regarding employment, the Chief Minister stated that 57,946 government jobs had been provided to unemployed youth and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to resolving all social issues in Telangana.
Taking a dig at the previous administration, he accused former CM KCR of turning Telangana from a wealthy state into a financially troubled one. Despite existing challenges, he assured that his government would continue implementing welfare schemes as promised.
Revanth Reddy also announced the induction of Kadiyam Srihari into the Congress party, emphasizing their 25-year association and his commitment to Station Ghanpur’s development. He stated that the Assembly had already revealed some of KCR’s past misdeeds and that more disclosures would follow before the session concluded.
