NO DIFFERENCES WITH HIGH COMMAND: REVANTH
The Morning Standard|November 08, 2024
ESCRIBING the past 11 months of the Congress government in Telangana as a story of success, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy says that he is planning for the next nine years as the party will win at least two terms based on its performance.

NO DIFFERENCES WITH HIGH COMMAND: REVANTH

In an exclusive interview with Ireddy Srinivas Reddy and Manda Ravinder Reddy, the CM talks about his style of governance, relations with the Centre, and much more. Excerpts:

I don't want to give any certificates to myself, but I can say that I have addressed unemployment and farmer issues. I have waived crop loans of 22 lakh farmers worth ₹18,000 crore. I can say that this is my biggest achievement.

My second big achievement is that I have filled 50,000 vacancies in the government sector within 10 months (of coming to power). Almost 15 lakh unemployed youth and students were roaming around coaching centres in the last seven to eight years. They can now do any other job or involve themselves in any other activity—this is my third success.

The fourth is bringing in reforms in education sector. I have given promotions to 21,000 teachers and transferred 35,000 in a transparent manner. We filled about 11,000 teacher posts. Now, there are teachers in every nook and corner of Telangana. There are surplus teachers in government schools.

I started the Young India Skill University and Young India Integrated Residential Schools. Similarly, we increased the coverage limit of Rajiv Aarogyasri scheme to ₹10 lakh. We are implementing a free bus travel one crore women have utilised the facility. We are supplying up to 200 units of power free to about 42 lakh poor families. The government is also giving subsidy on LPG cylinders and 42-45 lakh households are getting cylinders at ₹500. So, these are my success stories, achieved only in 10-11 months.

Why then is the Opposition alleging that the Congress government has failed?
