Chief Minister Sri Revanth Reddy actively participated in the ‘Yuva Vikasam’ program held in Peddapalli on Wednesday, addressing key developmental milestones and future goals for Telangana. His speech emphasized the state’s commitment to job creation, agricultural advancements, and strengthening education while countering opposition narratives.
Empowering the Youth with Jobs
During the Yuva Vikasam program, CM Reddy handed over appointment letters to 8,084 candidates who successfully cleared Group-4 exams. Highlighting the Congress party’s dedication, he credited Sonia Gandhi for fulfilling her promise to grant Telangana statehood, a move aimed at fostering employment and regional development.
“The Telangana movement was initiated to create jobs and ensure sustainable growth,” he stated, noting that the government has set a national record by providing 55,143 jobs to unemployed youth within a single year.
Reddy challenged opposition leaders, questioning whether the central government, under PM Modi’s leadership, achieved similar job creation in Gujarat during its tenure.
Supporting Farmers Through Unprecedented Measures
The Chief Minister underscored Telangana’s agricultural achievements, particularly in Peddapalli, which leads the state by cultivating paddy across 2 lakh acres. A historic feat has been accomplished with farmers producing 1.5 crore metric tons of paddy without utilizing water from the controversial Kaleshwaram project. Bonuses and remunerative prices have already been credited to 95% of farmers’ accounts, showcasing the government’s commitment to their welfare.
Despite allegations of corruption surrounding the Kaleshwaram project, CM Reddy affirmed his government’s transparency and readiness for a public debate on Telangana’s agricultural advancements and financial integrity.
Additionally, his administration waived ₹21,000 crore in farm loans for over 25 lakh farmers, a record-breaking initiative to alleviate rural financial stress.
Reviving Education and Women Empowerment
CM Reddy emphasized the importance of education and empowerment in building a prosperous Telangana. Under his leadership, universities that were neglected during the previous regime are now being revitalized. Plans to establish Engineering and Law colleges under Satavahana University are underway to address the growing demand for higher education.
The Congress government has also prioritized the welfare of self-help groups, pledging to transform women-led enterprises into millionaire ventures. This initiative aims to enhance women’s financial independence and entrepreneurial capabilities.
Countering Opposition Propaganda
Reddy criticized the opposition’s baseless propaganda against the state government, asserting that they fear losing their political ground. He pointed out the previous regime’s failure to address key issues, including the lack of adequate diet charges for hostel students over the last decade. The Congress government has already increased these charges to improve student welfare.
The CM also highlighted his government’s progressive stance on democratic expression by reinstating spaces like Indira Park and Dharna Chowk for public protests, ensuring citizens’ voices are heard.
A Vision for a Developed Telangana
Revanth Reddy reaffirmed his government’s dedication to fulfilling the people’s mandate, focusing on long-term goals rather than immediate miracles. “The people have given us five years to deliver, and we are committed to transforming Telangana into a model state,” he declared.
The administration remains steadfast in its mission to counter unemployment, strengthen infrastructure, and empower marginalized communities, ensuring a brighter future for all.
Conclusion
CM Revanth Reddy’s leadership showcases a transformative vision for Telangana, grounded in job creation, agricultural growth, educational development, and empowerment. His administration continues to tackle challenges head-on, silencing opposition with tangible results and unwavering dedication to the people of Telangana.
