Telangana: A total of 90 FIRs were found to be registered against Malkajgiri MP A Revanth Reddy across different police stations under various sections, according to the election affidavit he filed for the ensuing Telangana State Assembly Elections.

The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president and Kodangal MLA candidate A Revanth Reddy, who is spearheading the election campaign, was accompanied by a battalion of party cadre while he filed his nomination on November 6 in Kodangal.

The Congress party has also decided to field Revanth Reddy against BRS supremo and chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao in the Kamareddy Assembly seat.

It is pertinent to know that Revanth Reddy will be contesting against P Narender Reddy in Kodangal. Narender Reddy is the sitting BRS MLA there and a relative of Patnam Mahender Reddy. The TPCC president lost the 2018 Assembly elections from Kondangal. However, he went on to win the Malkajgiri Parliamentary seat.

‘KCR ignored Kodangal’

After filing the nomination, accusing the ruling party of ignoring the people of Kodangal, Revanth Reddy asked the BRS government to explain the ‘merit’ of the people of Sircilla and Siddipet and the ‘sins’ committed by Kodangal which led to the government ignoring them.

“KCR has cheated the people of Mahabubnagar who trusted him and sent him to Parliament in the 2009 elections. Why did KCR not do justice to Mahabubnagar in the 10 years following Telangana’s formation?” He asked and questioned KCR’s ignoring his challenge to compete against him in Kodangal.

He said that the Telangana elections are being held between the people of Kodangal region and chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao, and this election will bring a change in the lives of the people here.
