HYDERABAD: The Indian Express Power List 2025 has recognized the growing influence of Telangana leaders in national politics, featuring Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi among India’s 100 most powerful individuals.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has climbed 11 spots from the previous year, now ranking at 28th position. This rise reflects his increasing prominence beyond regional politics, attributed to his strategic leadership and governance reforms in Telangana. His initiatives, such as the ₹21,000 crore farm loan waiver and the establishment of the Young India Skill University, have garnered national attention.
Asaduddin Owaisi, leader of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul-Muslimeen (AIMIM), is also featured in the list, underscoring his continued influence in national discourse. Owaisi’s advocacy on issues concerning minority communities and his party’s growing footprint in various states have solidified his position as a significant political figure.
The inclusion of these leaders highlights the evolving political landscape in India, where regional figures are increasingly impacting national policies and discussions.
