Overview
- Mr. A. Revanth Reddy used Minorities Welfare Day on Wednesday to accuse the BJP of threatening a 4% Muslim quota and of ending central scholarships for minority students.
- He charged the Bharat Rashtra Samithi with failing to deliver a long‑promised 12% Muslim reservation and said the party misled Muslim voters by aligning with the BJP in New Delhi.
- The chief minister announced concrete state actions including upgrading Industrial Training Institutes into advanced technology centres, setting up a skill university, and continuing house deliveries under the Indiramma scheme.
- Mr. Reddy said the government has sped up Metro Rail work in Hyderabad’s Old City and is treating Musi River rejuvenation as a way to boost jobs and create a night‑time economy for local businesses.
- Coverage differed in emphasis with local outlets highlighting development plans while national reporting foregrounded his political attacks; his remarks tied back to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad’s education legacy and the wider contest over reservation and welfare policy.
