Revanth Reddy repeats threat to stop welfare schemes if Jubilee Hills voters back BRS

The Chief Minister says that Congress poll promises during the 2023 Assembly elections would be kept only if the voters elected his party in Jubilee Hills bypolls

Hyderabad: Undeterred by the controversy stirred by his threat to stop welfare schemes if the people of Jubilee Hills voted for the BRS, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday said that if the poor wanted ration cards, 200 units of free power, fine rice, free bus travel scheme for women and other schemes, they would have to support the Congress and voter for Naveen Yadav.

This condition comes from promises that were made when the Congress approached voters before the Assembly elections in 2023, with the Chief Minister now saying that those would be kept only if they voted for his party in Jubilee Hills as well.

He also claimed that development works worth Rs 300 crore were taken up in Jubilee Hills, and if this had to become Rs 3,000 crore, Naveen Yadav would have to be elected.

Interestingly, in a bid to attack former Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao, Revanth Reddy once again claimed that the credit for Hyderabad’s development belonged to Telugu Desam Party chief N Chandrababu Naidu and former Chief Minister YS Rajashekhara Reddy.

“All the pharma and IT companies that came up in Hyderabad are because of Chandrababu Naidu and YS Rajashekhara Reddy. Where is the development done by KCR in Hyderabad?” he asked, next turning his abusive rhetoric towards Union Minister G Kishan Reddy.

Pointing out that Kishan Reddy had questioned the induction of former cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin into the Cabinet and wrote to the Governor, he switched to purely intemperate language.
“Ministry Kishan Reddy ka baap ka jagir hai kya? Allah miya gave me one opportunity, tere baap ka jagir kuch gaya kya?” he asked.

He also said this election was not about Naveen Yadav or Maganti Sunitha. “It is between Revanth Reddy and Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi and KCR,” he said, also claiming that it was he who constructed the Aramgarh flyover and sanctioned Metro Rail to the old city.
