Revanth rules out vendetta politics, pledges focus on Telangana's growth
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday reiterated that he would not indulge in vendetta politics against those who targeted him while he was in the opposition, stressing that the mandate given by four crore people would be used solely for public welfare. "I believe in 'karma siddhantam'. Those who misused power against me will ultimately face consequences for their actions. I do not see anyone as an enemy. I am not a fool to misuse power for personal dislikes. The people of Telangana have entrusted me with a huge responsibility, and in fact, my victory itself is sorrow for my opponents," he said. Revanth was speaking after releasing the book 'Hasitha Bhashpalu,' authored by Sri Ram and published by eminent poet Ande Sri. Expressing pride that the author hailed from the combined Mahbubnagar district, Revanth said he intended to remain active in politics until 2040.

Many poets and activists sacrificed everything for Telangana without ever claiming to be statehood leaders. Ande Sri never claimed it either. But some politicians, who now own media houses and amassed wealth, call themselves statehood activists. How can such leaders make these claims while profiteering?" he asked, in an indirect reference to BRS leaders. Responding to criticism over showcasing the command control centre and secretariat built by the previous government, he said: "For them, buildings mean development. For me, true development is when the poor live with dignity in their own homes and eat fine rice provided by our govt. I made international delegates from 100 countries sing Telangana's state song and witness the Telangana Thalli statue that represents our women's aspirations. Are these not achievements?" Reaffirming his commitment to people's welfare, Revanth said his vision was to make Telangana a $3 trillion economy by 2047 and a model state for the world.

Will use power to serve people, not to settle scores with anyone: Revanth Reddy
Agency: PTI Hyderabad, Aug 16 (PTI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday said he would like to use power for the welfare of people but not to settle a score with anyone. Speaking after releasing the book 'Hasita Bhashpalu' written by poet Ande Sri, he said his victory is enough to cause pain to those who troubled him in the past. The CM said some persons had told him that he could target those who caused him trouble as he is now in power. However, he replied that he does not see anyone as an enemy. Observing that he held the posts of Zilla Parishad member, MLC, MLA, MP in a span of 17 years (from 2006 to 2023) before assuming the role of chief minister, Reddy said he feels power should be used for the welfare of four crore Telangana people. Taking a veiled dig at BRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, he said some people claim to be agitationists (for Telangana statehood) but true agitationists never claim. From Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara to Ande Sri, those who truly fought for people lost their personal properties and their families remained neglected, he said. 'But, those who claim to be agitationists acquired TV channels, newspapers, farmhouses and investments of thousands of crores. But, still they claim to be agitationists," he said. Reddy further said meeting the chief minister was a big thing earlier (during the BRS regime). However, anybody can meet the CM today, he said. 'I am one among you. I got this opportunity (CM post). As long as I have this opportunity, I will use it to serve poor people but not for my personal interests. Whether it is for five years or 10 years, I don't know," he added. Reiterating his resolve to make Telangana a USD one trillion economy by 2035 and a USD three trillion economy by 2047, the CM said he would make relentless efforts to make the state emerge as a USD three trillion economy by remaining active in public life till 2047.
