Cong MLA unhappy over Revanth Reddy's '10-year CM' remark

Hyderabad: Ruling Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy on Saturday expressed displeasure over Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy's recent comments that he would remain in the top post for 10 years.

Such a public announcement by the CM goes against the policies of Congress, said Raj Gopal Reddy, MLA from Munugode in Nalgonda district.

"In Congress, which is a national party, a Chief Minister is elected democratically, as per the directives of high command. Pure Congress leaders and activists won't tolerate attempts to turn Telangana Congress into a personal empire," Raj Gopal Reddy, younger brother of state Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, said in a post on X.

This marks the first instance of a Congress legislator voicing dissent against CM Revanth Reddy's remarks since the party came to power in 2023.

Addressing a public meeting at Kollapur in Nagarkurnool district on Friday, CM Revanth Reddy expressed confidence that he would be the chief minister for 10 years from December 2023 to 2034.
