Revanth’s campaigning in Maharashtra
Revanth Reddy made several notable statements addressing key political issues and defending the Congress party’s record in Telangana during his last visit to Maharashtra.
He emphasized the urgent need for a nationwide caste census to be included in the upcoming national population census starting in January 2025.
Reddy highlighted that his government had already initiated a comprehensive caste survey in Telangana and called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi to adopt a similar approach at the national level.
He pointed out that this demand was also echoed by Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, reinforcing the party’s commitment to social justice.
Reddy also took the opportunity to counter allegations from BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Modi, regarding the Congress government’s performance in Telangana.
He asserted that the Congress administration had successfully implemented various welfare schemes, such as a farm loan waiver of up to Rs 2 lakh for farmers, which he claimed relieved 2.23 million farmers of their debts within just 25 days.
He provided data indicating that his government had created 50,000 jobs in ten months and fully executed initiatives like free bus travel for women and free electricity for households consuming less than 200 units.
