Revanth Reddy on Wednesday said that the Telangana model would make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister in future.The Chief Minister participated in a party meeting on caste census held at the Gandhi Bhavan on Wednesday. In the meeting, the party leaders have discussed conducting the caste census to get complete details of people in Telangana by working from ground level.Speaking on the occasion, Revanth Reddy said Rahul Gandhi has promised that social, economic and political caste census would be done before the formation of Indiramma government in Telangana. AICC leader Sonia Gandhi also addressed the people of Telangana in the Tukkuguda public meeting on September 17, 2023. “No matter how many ups and downs and obstacles came in politics, Sonia Gandhi was successful in fulfilling her promise to the people,” the Chief Minister said.Revanth Reddy said that they are the descendants of AICC chief Mallikarjuna Kharge and Rahul Gandhi who keep their word. Revanth Reddy does not have any special recognition. The Congress has given recognition to Revanth Reddy,” the Chief Minister said. “I got this responsibility only if you all worked hard. If the Gandhi family gave their word, there is no room for further discussion. If they gave a chance for discussion, they are traitors to the party. We went to the people with the party agenda and our government’s policy is to implement the party policy,” the Chief Minister said.During the meeting, it is suggested to appoint 33 observers for 33 districts to coordinate caste enumeration and monitor the caste census duties being done by the teachers.

Battle should be waged against Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Telangana. Caste census is not just an X-ray, it is like a mega health check up for people in enumerating the caste census to get benefits. The Congress policy is to distribute government revenue according to social justice,” Revanth Reddy said.The Chief Minister also stated that despite all the obstacles created by the opposition, they completed the DSC and provided the job appointments.
