At a time when politicians bark and scowl at each other and mudslinging with the choicest venom is spewed almost every single day, the recently held Ramoji Excellence Awards witnessed a rarely seen bonhomie as politicians of different hues exchanges pleasantries and were actually appreciative of each-other. They appeared relaxed, cheerful, and were seen laughing away.

The event brought together prominent figures across party lines. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, usually separated by political boundaries and contrasting ideologies, openly praised each other’s leadership and administrative vision. The mutual admiration was palpable. Naidu lauded Revanth Reddy’s “clarity, energy, and commitment to public service,” while Revanth returned the compliment, describing Naidu as “a statesman whose experience and long-term vision continue to inspire the region.”

Former Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu added to the rare camaraderie, commending both leaders for their governance styles and emphasizing the importance of collaborative politics. His words drew warm applause from an audience delighted to witness political discourse free of hostility and acrimony.

The presence of leaders from various parties, across the spectrum of the two Telugu states, further amplified the sense of a shared, collective moment. Smiles replaced scowls, handshakes replaced pointed fingers, and words of appreciation replaced the familiar noise of accusations. For viewers and the general public long accustomed to political bickering, this display of mutual respect felt like a breath of fresh air.

At a time when political debates often spiral into blame games and coarse language, the Ramoji Excellence Awards stood out as a shining example of how civility and dignity can shape public discourse. The evening not only celebrated excellence across fields but also reminded citizens that politics, at its best, can unite rather than divide.
