In a spirited address at LB Stadium in Hyderabad during a booth-level Congress workers meeting, CM Revanth Reddy expressed his views on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. He confidently declared the absence of a Modi wave and instead asserted the rise of the “Kedi wave.” During his speech, Reddy emphasized the responsibility to challenge and weaken KCR (Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao), metaphorically stating that they must “strangulate” KCR, likening him to a tiger that needs decisive handling.
Reddy alleged that every vote for KCR indirectly supports Modi, drawing a connection between the local and national political scenarios. He asserted that the upcoming elections present an opportunity to counter the influence of both KCR and Modi.
Promising financial relief, Reddy announced the crediting of Rythu Bandhu money into 63 lakh farmer accounts by the end of February. Expressing his determination, he identified himself as a “mestri” (artisan) committed to reconstructing the perceived destruction in Telangana and addressing unemployment.
Taking a critical stance toward Modi and his political affiliations, Reddy questioned their roles during India’s fight for independence. He also criticized the absence of political figures similar to Vedma Bhojju in the current political landscape.
In a strategic move, Reddy rallied against KCR, associating him with those controlling sand, land, mines, and wine, while positioning Congress as the party for the poor.
Addressing the broader political scenario, Reddy underscored the need to challenge Modi or the “Kedi” (a term used to refer to opposition leaders) to halt Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Nyay Yatra. Expressing a desire to see Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Minister, he outlined plans to remove influential figures like Billa Ranga (referring to KTR & Harish) from Telangana. Reddy likened this to a turning point in a movie, where the interval is almost done, and the next phase is set to begin, starting from Indravelly.
In a nod to the national picture, Reddy emphasized the importance of winning 14 seats in Delhi to pave the way for Rahul Gandhi’s ascension to the role of Prime Minister.
