Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has made several public calls regarding the leadership and legacy of the Indian National Congress. In early September, Reddy advocated for Rahul Gandhi to serve as Prime Minister, describing such an appointment as a ‘historical necessity’ and a tribute to the late YS Rajasekhara Reddy.

Later in the month, Reddy shifted focus to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, demanding that the Indian Union government confer the Bharat Ratna upon him. During a statue unveiling in Hyderabad, Reddy urged the central government to move beyond partisan politics to honor Singh’s contributions to economic liberalization and the formation of Telangana. He also instructed Congress Members of Parliament to raise the matter in both Houses of Parliament.
