Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president and Malkajgiri MP A Revanth Reddy on Tuesday announced that he would contest from the Kodangal constituency in next assembly elections.
Revanth, who got emotional while thanking the Congress cadre for achieving a membership of 75,000 in Kodangal constituency, made this announcement.
With a huge membership of 75,000, he said that Kodangal has emerged as an ideal constituency for the Congress party not only in Telangana, but the entire country.
He felicitated the Congress leaders and workers who enrolled more than 500 members in their respective polling booths in a function at Kosgi on Tuesday.
He asked the party cadre to stay in touch with the people and hold discussions in all villages on how Kodangal fared when he represented Kodangal as MLA.
He said people have now understood that they have been facing utter neglect after TRS won this seat. He expressed confidence that he would win from Kodangal seat in next elections with a huge majority.
The PCC chief reminded that after getting elected as MLA from Kodangal in 2009, he had developed temples, schools, roads, 5,000 sub-stations, Kosgi Bus Depot and established a school in Maddur on his own land.
He said he had also brought a junior college in Kodangal, Kosgi and Maddur and a Degree College was established in Kodangal. An excellent road network was laid in Kodangal and all villages were provided with a water tank.
As an MLA, he said he had brought drinking water to Kodangal at a cost of Rs 350 crore. A 50-bed hospital was also set up in Kosgi although no other development works were undertaken after TRS won the elections.
Revanth Reddy said that the development process came to a halt after TRS won the Kodangal seat in 2018.
He said Minister K.Tarakarama Rao had announced the adoption of Kondangal. But he completely forgot about it after winning elections.
He said that the foundation stone for Kosgi Bus Depot was laid in 2018 by five ministers. But the works have remained in-completed.
Even mud was not cleared from Kodangal roads in the last three years. He challenged TRS leaders for an open debate on development in Kodangal.
Revanth Reddy said he did not visit Kodangal for three years for the purpose of showing the difference to the people. Why only Siddipet and Gajwel are witnessing development and not Kodangal? he asked.
He said distribution of Shadi Mubarak and Kalayana Lakshmi cheques alone could not be termed as development.
