Revanth Reddy took oath as the new Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee(TPCC) chief on Wednesday at Gandhi Bhavan, the state headquarters of the Congress after taking charge from Uttar Kumar Reddy.
After taking the oath, he addressed a massive meeting and made sensational comments against Chief Minister KCR, and said he will bring back the glory to the Congress by taking the party to power in the elections.
Over the past few days, media reports are abuzz that the Telangana wing of the Congress might rope in noted political strategist Prashant Kishor, popularly known as PK for the next general elections.
In his maiden speech after taking charge as the new Telangana Congress boss, Revanth Reddy responded to such reports and told the gathering that he is receiving suggestions from his friends and well-wishers regarding the same.
Saying that he is receiving suggestions, Revanth Reddy said, there is no need of seeking the help of PK for the Congress party and said each party worker is equal to the political strategist.
Adding further, Revanth Reddy said, the party has plenty of PKs and there is no need of roping in one more Prashant Kishor for the elections.
Stressing that the Congress party would come to power in the next elections in Telangana, the new TPCC President Revanth Reddy urged the party workers and activists to focus on the mission to bring the party to power.
Revanth Reddy even took a reference from Ramayana, an important text of Hinduism, and termed Telangana Chief Minister KCR to the Demon king Ravana. How Ravana abducted goddess Sita, KCR kidnapped Telangana Talli. We will save Telangana Talli from the Chief Minister with the blessings of people and party workers, Revanth Reddy said.
Before taking oath as TPCC chief, Revanth Reddy visited Sri Peddamma Thalli Temple in Jubilee Hills and Nampally Dargah.
