Digital Desk: Anumula Revanth Reddy marking a key milestone in his political career will be sworn in as Telangana's Chief Minister today.
The Indian National Congress politician, who was key in the party's historic victory in the state assembly elections, will take the oath of office at 1:04 PM at the Lal Bahadur Stadium in Hyderabad.
Revanth Reddy's elevation to the post of CM after a period of considerable speculation and leadership deliberation inside the Congress party.
His appointment by the party's high command over other prominent candidates marks the beginning of a new era for the Congress in Telangana.
The victory of the Congress party under Revanth Reddy has been credited to a campaign that offered "six guarantees," which resonated with the public.
As he takes on his new post, Revanth Reddy confronts the task of keeping these promises, which include free bus rides for women and large financial incentives for farmers and farm labourers.
Revanth Reddy's political career began with his involvement with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and culminated with his election as an independent MLC in 2007.
Notably, Revanth joined the Congress party in 2017 and was elected president of the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee in June 2021.
The oath-taking ceremony is more than a formality; it marks Revanth Reddy's perseverance and the faith that the people of Telangana and the Congress party have placed in him.
The ceremony is anticipated to be attended by prominent individuals such as former Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, as well as an estimated one lakh people to witness the ceremony.
