Congress names A. Revanth Reddy as Telangana’s new chief minister
In a significant development, the Congress party has named A. Revanth Reddy as the chief minister of Telangana. The announcement was made by AICC general secretary K. C. Venugopal in the national capital. Reddy is set to take oath as chief minister on December 7.
Expressing gratitude to several party leaders, Revanth Reddy thanked AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, and others for their support. He acknowledged their role in his appointment as the state’s second chief minister, succeeding K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
While senior leaders Uttam Kumar Reddy and Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka are still in Delhi along with other party leaders, Revanth Reddy will be consulted on the composition of the state Cabinet. This move highlights the Congress Party’s commitment to fulfilling the aspirations of the people of Telangana.
The announcement comes after extensive discussions with party leaders, including Rahul Gandhi. It is worth noting that Revanth Reddy led the party’s election campaign, which resulted in the Congress winning 64 seats in the Assembly.
The decision to appoint Revanth Reddy as chief minister had been delayed due to a lack of consensus among party leaders. However, the majority of MLAs favored Revanth Reddy, and party leaders assured that they would go by the decision of the party leadership.
This development is expected to bring stability and continuity to the governance of Telangana, as Revanth Reddy assumes the role of chief minister. The Congress party’s decision reflects its commitment to the welfare and progress of the state, as it aims to meet the expectations of the people of Telangana.
As Revanth Reddy prepares to take charge, many are hopeful that his leadership will bring about positive changes and address the various challenges faced by the state. All eyes will be on the new chief minister as he sets out to fulfill the promises made during the party’s election campaign.
