Revanth asks Naidu to stop Rayalaseema LIP, not come in the way of Palamuru-RR project
'If appeals don't work, we, as the children of Palamuru, know how to fight for our rights,' he warned, adding that at any cost, Palamuru, which was neglected in the past, would be developed.
In an emotional tone, he said that 'Palamuru's son' is now the Chief Minister and would take care of its development by fighting against all odds.
Addressing the 'Praja Palana - Pragati Bata' public meeting in Jataprolu of Nagarkurnool district, he accused former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao of betraying the aspirations of the people of Palamuru during his decade-long rule.
'Palamuru sent KCR to Parliament depite his political migration from Karimnagar but not a single time, he raised his voice in Parliament for the disrict.'
He criticised KCR for abandoning critical irrigation projects such as Palamuru-Rangareddy, Kalwakurthy, Nettempadu, and Bheema. 'KCR spent a lakh of crores on Kaleshwaram, which turned defunct within three years. A few thousands of crores on the pending projects would have been more useful for Telangana but KCR had other intentions,' he alleged and promised to complete these long-pending projects within the next two years.
Till 2034
Mr. Revanth Reddy also alleged that KCR was unable to digest that 'Palamuru's son' was ruling the State and exuded confidence that the same person would continue to lead the State till 2034.
Highlighting his government's achievements, Mr. Revanth Reddy said 24 hours of free power to farmers, waiver of ₹21,000 crore worth of farm loans in the first year itself and ₹9,000 crore for Rythu Bharosa within nine days were welfare schemes that opposition parties failed to notice.
He also took pride in his government providing ₹344 crore worth of interest-free loans to 3.52 lakh self-help groups across Telangana. Specifically, in the Kolhapur constituency, ₹6.33 crore was given to 2,671 groups, and ₹41.61 crore was extended to 570 groups.
He reiterated the government's efforts to support women through various initiatives — Amma Adarsh Schools, Indira Mahila Shakti canteens, and empowering them through petrol bunks and solar plants to compete with industrial giants.
Patriarchal mindset
Taking a swipe at KCR's alleged patriarchal mindset, he alleged that the BRS chief thought girls belonged to kitchens while the Congress was turning them into entrepreneurs and owners.
Earlier, the CM laid the foundation for the Young India Integrated Residential School in Jataprolu and promised that within a year and a half it would be completed. He also offered prayers at the Madanagopala Swamy temple.

Committed To Give 42% Reservation To Backward Classes, Says Telangana CM Revanth Reddy
Last Updated: Reddy said the state has explored all options to implement the quota, and if the regular legal route fails, the government will consider alternative ways for local body elections Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has said the government will fight for the implementation of 42 per cent reservation for Backward Classes in the state. Speaking to the media in Delhi on Thursday, Reddy said efforts are being made to pressure the Union government to secure the President's assent for the reservation bill. He mentioned that they would wait until the evening for an appointment with the President and expressed hope that she would take an independent decision. However, he added that if the President does not give time, it would have to be assumed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is putting pressure on her. Reddy explained that the state has explored all possible options to implement the 42 per cent BC reservations, and if the regular legal route fails, the government will consider alternative ways to conduct local body elections. Further, the chief minister said there are three possible ways for implementing the reservations. Reddy said: 'The first option is to issue a Government Order (GO) by setting aside the previous government's law that imposed a 50 per cent ceiling on reservations. However, this could be challenged in court and potentially stayed, making it an unviable solution. The second option is to postpone local elections, but doing so would stop the flow of funds from the central government, which could severely affect village-level governance and infrastructure. The third and most practical option is for the party to allocate 42 per cent of its election tickets to BC candidates." He also stated that efforts would be made to pressure other political parties to adopt the same approach. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

CM Revanth Reddy Vows to Fight for 42% BC Reservation Bill
Telangana's Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has reiterated his commitment to securing the 42 percent reservation bill for Backward Classes (BCs), pressing the central government for swift approval from the President. Speaking to reporters in Delhi on Thursday, he expressed confidence that the President would make an independent decision regarding the bill. Revanth Reddy reddy stated, "We will wait until this evening for an appointment with the President. If we are not granted time, it would appear that the Prime Minister has exerted pressure on us." He outlined the various strategies to implement the 42 percent reservation, emphasising the urgency of the situation. The Chief Minister highlighted three potential pathways for enacting BC reservations. The first involves issuing a Government Order (GO) to override the previous administration's 50 percent ceiling on reservations. He believes such an order would face legal challenges but could be stayed in court. However, he pointed out that this approach may not be feasible for the upcoming local elections. The second strategy suggests delaying local elections, although he cautioned that this could halt central funding, jeopardising essential services in rural areas. The final avenue involves advocating for 42 percent representation for BCs within party allocations, seeking support from other political parties to ensure equitable representation.

KTR wishes on National Handloom Day, Praises Telangana Weavers
BRS Working President and former Minister Kalvakuntla Taraka Rama Rao (KTR) extended heartfelt greetings to handloom artisans in a message commemorating National Handloom Day. In his remarks, KTR praised Telangana's weavers for their remarkable skill, particularly noting their ability to weave sarees small enough to fit in a matchbox. KTR expressed admiration for the dedication of handloom workers who have sustained a stable presence in the industry by honouring the craftsmanship passed down through generations. His sentiments were shared in a post on social media platform X. The former minister recalled a time when the livelihoods of weavers suffered under a previous unity government, asserting that the BRS regime has since revitalised the sector. He credited Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) with implementing innovative schemes aimed at bringing back handloom workers who had migrated to places like Surat and Bhiwandi in search of employment. KTR highlighted numerous initiatives by the BRS government designed to support weavers, including Chenetha Mitra, Netannaku Cheyutha, Netanna Bima, Bathukamma sarees, loan waivers, and pensions. He acknowledged the hard work of handloom artisans, stating, 'They have turned their nerves into bundles, their blood into colours, their hearts into hearts, and their sweat into sarees, bringing civilization to mankind.'
