Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Heads to Delhi on Saturday for Congress Talks and Centre Push

The visit responds to a high‑command summons over long‑pending district committee appointments.

Overview

  • Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy is scheduled to be in New Delhi on October 25 to meet senior Congress leaders, with Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka already in the capital and TPCC president B. Mahesh Kumar Goud set to join.
  • The top item is finalising District Congress Committee presidents after an AICC observer exercise that gathered grassroots feedback and shortlisted candidates for each district and four municipal corporations.
  • Reddy is expected to brief Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and K.C. Venugopal on the Jubilee Hills bypoll, the 42% BC quota issue in local body polls and the party’s campaign plan.
  • He is likely to seek meetings with Union ministers to push rescheduling of high‑interest state loans, FRBM relaxations, central support for Indiramma housing, faster clearances for Hyderabad Metro Phase‑2, and higher paddy procurement targets with settlement of pending dues.
  • The high command’s engagement also follows reports of friction within the Telangana government, including disputes over tender allocations, a police episode at a minister’s residence, and a senior IAS officer’s voluntary retirement application.
