Revanth Reddy Seeks Mudiraj Backing for Rahul Gandhi and Orders Study on Caste Reclassification

The Telangana chief minister framed caste reclassification and cultural honors as part of a push to win Bahujan votes ahead of the 2026 general election.

Overview

  • Speaking at Pandaga Sayanna’s birth anniversary on Thursday, October 22, 2026, Revanth Reddy urged Mudiraj voters to give full support to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and said Bahujan empowerment depends on his becoming prime minister.
  • He announced that a Cabinet sub-committee will be set up to study the demand to move the Mudiraj community from BC-D to BC-A and said the issue will be placed on the agenda of the next state Cabinet meeting.
  • Revanth reaffirmed promises to install statues of folk fighters Pandaga Sayanna and Doddi Komarayaiah on Hyderabad’s Tank Bund as a symbolic recognition of regional social reformers.
  • The chief minister cited welfare steps and past political appointments for Mudiraj leaders as proof of delivery, noting the community is the largest group in his Kodangal constituency and has received party and government roles.
  • If the reclassification proceeds it could change reservation access for the Mudiraj community and reshape local vote dynamics, so the sub-committee report and the next Cabinet discussion are the key developments to watch.
