Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Monday described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the most dangerous person for the country and appealed to Communist parties to join the Congress in defeating the BJP government at the Centre.

Addressing a memorial meeting for Comrade Sarampalli Malla Reddy, he alleged a systematic conspiracy by the BJP to delete anti-BJP votes in Telangana under the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls.Revanth Reddy claimed the BJP had failed to win public trust through democratic means and was therefore targeting Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and minorities by removing their names from voter lists. 

He accused the party of replicating its West Bengal strategy by deleting votes booth by booth and alleged a plot to erase one crore votes in the state with the help of private agencies conducting surveys. The Chief Minister criticised the Election Commission for functioning at the BJP’s behest and questioned the silence of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi on the issue.Appealing for unity,

he said the defeat of Modi would also be a victory for the Communists, who must safeguard the voting rights of the poor. “We should be united and fight against Modi in the country. Elections and fundamental rights of the poor are different aspects,” he stated. Praising the Left’s long struggle for the poor, Revanth Reddy noted that the Congress had enacted the Minimum Wages Act,

distributed 24.56 lakh acres of assigned land (including 10 lakh acres to Adivasis), and implemented the Employment Guarantee Act and Food Security Act in response to Communist demands. He recalled Malla Reddy’s rise from a remote area to the national stage and his dedication to farmers, calling his death an irreparable loss. The government would address farmers’ issues keeping in mind Malla Reddy’s writings and would decide on a memorial after consultations.

Later in the Legislative Assembly, Revanth Reddy strongly condemned alleged disrespectful remarks by BRS members against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. He described the incident as an insult to the Speaker, the House, the four crore people of Telangana and democratic traditions. Demanding that BRS working president K. Chandrashekar Rao apologise, that the member concerned resign and that the legislator’s membership be terminated, the Chief Minister stressed that all members are equal before the Speaker. He called the day a “dark day” for Telangana and linked the episode to what he termed a broader anti-Dalit mindset in the BRS, citing unfulfilled promises of a Dalit Chief Minister, land for Dalits and the Dalit Bandhu scheme, the removal of a Dalit Deputy Chief Minister, and alleged violence against Dalit protesters in Neredcherla.

Meanwhile, Irrigation and Civil Supplies Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy attributed the state’s water scarcity to El Niño conditions and failures of the previous BRS government. Speaking in the Assembly lobbies, he said farmers were facing difficulties because of “Mr El Niño and Mr KCR.” Despite spending about Rs 1.81 lakh crore, key projects such as Kalwakurthy, Nettampadu, Koilsagar, Bheema and the SLBC tunnel remained incomplete. He criticised the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation Scheme, on which around Rs 27,500 crore was spent without creating the required irrigation potential, and questioned the shifting of its source from Jurala to Srisailam. Uttam said the Congress government had finalised the water source for the Dindi project and sanctioned about Rs 1,800 crore.

On Kaleshwaram, he questioned the BRS’s planned mobilisation given the structural damage at Medigadda barrage and noted that the government was undertaking investigations with national and international experts while conserving reservoir stocks. He rejected claims of compromise on Telangana’s water interests, affirming that the state had utilised its Krishna share and would continue pursuing entitlements before tribunals and the Krishna River Management Board.
