Six guarantees inspired by YSR, says Revanth ReddyHyderabad : Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy said on Monday that the six guarantees announced by the Congress party in the Assembly elections were inspired by the former chief minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR).

He paid rich tribute to the late Congress leader during his 75th birth anniversary celebrations held at Gandhi Bhavan, the Telangana Congress headquarters.

The chief minister said his government’s plans for Musi waterfront development project, metro rail, Krishna and Godavari waters and attracting investments in Hyderabad were all inspired by YSR.

Revanth Reddy said that YSR’s Padayatra also influenced Rahul Gandhi to embark on his Bharat Jodo Yatra. He recalled that the late leader’s yatra was instrumental in bringing the Congress to power in united Andhra Pradesh. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo yatra was instrumental in bringing the Congress to power in Telangana, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh.

The Chief Minister recalled that after coming to power for a second consecutive term in 2009, YSR wanted to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister. “YSR left us even before Rahul Gandhi became the Prime Minister. With YSR’s inspiration, all Congress workers should strive to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister,” he said.

Revanth Reddy claimed that Rahul Gandhi was already working hard to become the leader of the opposition and was just one step away from becoming the prime minister. He noted that the country would develop only under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.

He said all Congress members should take oath to make Rahul Gandhi the prime minister. “Posts and positions are not important for Rahul Gandhi. The Congress leader would have become the prime minister in 2004 and 2014,” he said, adding that the entire country was waiting for Rahul Gandhi to become the prime minister.

Revanth Reddy said that the development that took place during the YSR regime is very helpful for Telangana. “YSR stands for welfare and the entire country remembers the great leader,” he said and urged all political parties and leaders to implement the welfare schemes launched by YSR.

He mentioned that he took charge as the TPCC president on July 7, 2021. He claimed that despite facing many hurdles in three years, he had brought the party to power in Telangana.

Earlier, the Chief Minister inaugurated a photo exhibition on YSR at Praja Bhavan. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, AICC in-charge Deepa Dasmunshi, former MP KVP Ramachandra Rao, senior leaders Madhu Yaskhi, Mohammed Ali Shabbir and other leaders were present.

The chief minister also decorated the statue of YSR at Panjagutta in the heart of the city and paid tributes to the leader, who had served as chief minister of united Andhra Pradesh between 2004 and 2009.
