Jubilee Hills win is people’s endorsement of Congress rule, claims Revanth Reddy
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has termed the Jubilee Hills bypoll outcome as an endorsement of Congress governance, urging BRS and BJP to cooperate in Hyderabad’s development. He criticised Union Minister G Kishan Reddy for obstructing growth and thanked AIMIM, CPI and CPI(M) for their support.
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who earlier dismissed suggestions that the Jubilee Hills bypoll would serve as a referendum on his two-year governance, appeared to revise his stance on Friday, stating that voters had endorsed the Congress government after being impressed with its performance.
Appealing to the BRS and BJP to cooperate in Hyderabad’s development, he said there were still three years left for the next Assembly elections.
“The Congress indulges in politics only when there are elections, and post-elections it strives for welfare and development. The BRS and BJP should support the Congress government and refrain from creating hurdles,” he said.
Addressing a press conference, the Chief Minister criticised union Minister G Kishan Reddy, accusing him of obstructing Hyderabad’s growth. “The BJP lost its deposit in the bypoll. This is the people’s response to Kishan Reddy’s leadership. The union Minister needs to change his attitude for the BJP to have any future in the State,” he said.
Revanth Reddy also thanked the AIMIM, CPI and CPI(M) for supporting the Congress in the bypoll.
On the long-pending local body elections, he said the cabinet would meet on Monday to discuss all issues, including legal aspects, before taking a final decision.
On the Bihar assembly elections results, the Chief Minister refrained from a statement, claiming that he had not followed the results keenly.
