Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Backs Rahul Gandhi as Future PM, Cites 'Historical Necessity'
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday stated that Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, should become the next Prime Minister of India. Speaking at a public meeting in Midjil Mandal, Reddy urged the people of Telangana to support Gandhi's leadership.
"The people of Telangana need to stand in support of this. We have a duty to express our gratitude to Sonia Gandhi, who granted us Telangana. Walk with me and let us make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister in 2029. And the first step towards this must be taken right here from Midjil Mandal," Reddy said.
Reddy made the remarks after laying foundation stones for development works. He appealed to the public to express gratitude to Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson Sonia Gandhi for the statehood of Telangana by backing Gandhi's prime ministerial bid.
"Congress will remain in power until 2034. Congress must come back to power in the state, and Rahul Gandhi must become the Prime Minister of this country. There is a historical necessity in the country to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister," Reddy added.
Reddy's appeal is significant as Telangana was traditionally a Congress stronghold before the formation of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS). The Congress returned to power in the state in December 2023, ending the BRS's 10-year rule, and has since been focusing on consolidating its position.
