“Congress will rule Telangana until 2034”: CM Revanth Reddy promises Cabinet berth for Sircilla
CM Revanth Reddy declares Congress will rule Telangana until 2034 and promises a Cabinet seat to the candidate who wins the Sircilla constituency.
In a high-stakes political move, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has declared that the Congress party is poised to lead a decade-long era of "people's governance" in the state. Addressing a massive gathering of party workers in the Rajanna Sircilla district on Wednesday, the Chief Minister not only laid out a long-term vision for his party but also issued a massive incentive to local cadres to dismantle the influence of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
A Bold Promise for Sircilla
Aiming to strike a blow in a major BRS stronghold, Revanth Reddy made a stunning announcement regarding the Sircilla Assembly constituency. Currently held by BRS Working President KT Rama Rao (KTR), the seat has become the center of a high-reward political challenge. The Chief Minister promised that any Congress worker who manages to secure a victory from this constituency would be rewarded with a prestigious seat in the Telangana Cabinet.
"I am saying on this occasion that the Congress Karyakarta winning from here (Sircilla Assembly) will be made a minister," Reddy stated, signaling his intent to aggressively expand the party's footprint in opposition-held areas.
Targeting BRS Leadership
The Chief Minister did not mince words when addressing the top leadership of the BRS. He launched a scathing attack on K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) and KTR, predicting a complete political eclipse for the regional party. He asserted that the BRS has lost its political momentum and that its days of dominance are over.
Reddy highlighted the shifting political tides of Telangana over the last three decades to support his claim:
- 1994–2004: The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) held power for two consecutive terms.
- 2004–2014: The Congress party led the government twice under Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and D. Srinivas.
- 2014–2023: The BRS (formerly TRS) held power under KCR.
- 2024–2034: Reddy claims the people of Telangana will ensure a decade of Congress-led governance.
"KTR, BRS, and KCR, you have no future, and your party flag will not fly in the future," he told the crowd, claiming this sentiment reflects the collective voice of the Congress workers.
Focus on Local Development and Welfare
Beyond the political maneuvering, the Chief Minister emphasized his administration's commitment to the economic upliftment of the Rajanna Sircilla region. He specifically highlighted the needs of the weaving and industrial workforce, promising that the state government would take full responsibility for the area's development.
Reddy urged local party members to take ownership of the Congress flag in the region, promising that his government would bring "light into the lives" of the workers in Sircilla. He concluded his address by calling for unity among the party cadres, urging them to work collectively to strengthen the Congress organization across the entire state of Telangana.
