Never used my post to cultivate power and pelf: CM
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has observed that he has never used his official position to cultivate power and pelf, saying 'I have always used power delegated by people only for the welfare of the poor and development of the state.' He was speaking after releasing a book 'Hasitha Bhashpalu' penned by noted Telangana activist and poet Andesri on Saturday. Mentioning that Telangana people had reposed faith in his leadership and given him a big mandate to rule the state, the Chief Minister amplified: 'I will use the opportunity for the development of Telangana and make the state a 3 trillion US dollar economy by 2047, placing it as a pioneering state in the world.' Alluding to erstwhile rulers of the state, he observed: 'Leaders who claimed to be Telangana protagonists amassed wealth and own TV channels and newspapers… Real Telangana activists never boast about themselves. We are not activists but political leaders and move according to situation. I started my political career in 2006 and became the Chief Minister in 17 years.' The Chief Minister took a dig at the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi government for constructing colourful and palatial buildings, saying 'they are not growth indicators'. Real development is enhancement of the self-respect of the poor. The People's government constructed 4 lakh Indiramma houses and is supplying fine rice to the poor to help them lead a decent life in society. Adverting to his detractors in politics, the Chief Minister made some intriguing comments. He said leaders should have status for him to consider them as his enemies, adding: 'In fact, I have never treated anyone as my enemy'. In the context, the CM said that he had never exploited his power against his antagonists.

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.
