Previously, he represented the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency in the Parliament of India. He was appointed as president of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee in July 2021. He led his party to victory in the 2023 Telangana Legislative Assembly election, defeating the incumbent Bharat Rashtra Samithi.

Early and personal life

Revanth Reddy was born on 8 November 1969 in Konda Reddy Pally of Mahboobnagar district (in present-day Nagarkurnool district, Telangana), India.[3] [4] He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Andhra Vidyalaya College, Osmania University, Hyderabad.[5] [6]

Reddy married Geetha, former union minister Jaipal Reddy's niece.[7] [8] The couple have a daughter.[9]

Political career

Early political career

Revanth Reddy was a member of ABVP while he was a student. In 2006, he contested the local body election and was elected as ZPTC member from Midjil mandal as an independent candidate.[10] [11]

In 2007, Reddy was elected as a Member of Legislative Council (MLC) as an independent candidate. Later, he met Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief N. Chandrababu Naidu and joined the TDP.

Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA)

In 2009, Revanth was elected to the Andhra Pradesh Assembly from Kodangal constituency with 46.46% votes as a TDP candidate. He won against the incumbent and five-time MLA, Gurunath Reddy of Congress (INC).[12] He served as an MLA in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly between 2009 and 2014 and in Telangana Assembly, between 2014 and 2018.

He contested the 2014 undivided Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections and was elected to the Telangana Assembly from Kodangal with a majority of 14,614 votes against Gurunath Reddy. He was elected as the floor leader of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in the Telangana Legislative Assembly.

On 25 October 2017, TDP removed him as the floor leader of the Telangana TDP after reports surfaced that he would consider joining the Congress party.[13] On 31 October 2017, he formally joined the Congress party.[14]

He contested the 2018 Telangana Assembly elections from Kodangal as an Indian National Congress (INC) candidate and lost to Bhartiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) candidate, Patnam Narender Reddy, marking his first defeat in an election. On 20 September 2018, he was appointed as one of the three working presidents of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC), replacing N. Uttam Kumar Reddy.[15]

Member of Parliament (MP)

Following his defeat in the 2018 Telangana legislative assembly election, Reddy successfully contested the 2019 general election from the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency as a Congress candidate, by a margin of 10,919 votes, constituting 38.63% of the total votes. He defeated his closest competitor, Marri Rajashekar Reddy from BRS.[16]

2023 Telangana Assembly election campaign

In June 2021, Reddy was appointed as president of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee, replacing N. Uttam Kumar Reddy.[17] He took on the new role from 7 July 2021.[18]

He led the Congress' successful campaigning against the incumbent Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao in 2023 Telangana Legislative Assembly election with the party winning 64 seats, 4 seats past the majority mark. He contested from Kodangal and Kamareddy constituencies,[19] [20] winning in the former seat and losing in the latter.[21] After his earlier wins from Kodangal constituency in 2009 and 2014, he is representing the constituency for the third time.

Chief Minister of Telangana

All India Congress Committee (AICC) named Reddy as the leader of Congress Legislature Party, following the elected MLAs' resolution authorising the AICC to nominate the leader, paving way for him to become the Chief Minister of Telangana.[22] On 7 December 2023, he took oath as the Chief Minister of Telangana, making him the second person to hold the post.[23] [24]

In the first ten days of his governance, the government launched 2 of his 6 "guarantees", the free bus travel for women and insurance under the 'Arogyasri' scheme was increased to ₹10 lakh. Its 'Praja Palana' outreach program receives over 1.05 crore applications, covering as many as 1.11 crore households.[25] In July, another guarantee, the crop loan waiver was passed, with the Telangana government releasing 31,000 crore for it.[26] The waiver was set to benefit around 40 lakh farmers across the state.[27]

In May 2024, he was summoned by the Delhi Police after the Telangana Congress shared a doctored video of Amit Shah on its Twitter handle. He denied any role in the creation or the dissemination of the video.[28] [29]

In celebrations of 10 years of Telangana achieving statehood, his government celebrated it on a grand scale on 2 June 2024.[30] [31]

He met with Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari, Piyush Goyal, Amit Shah and J. P. Nadda in July 2024, in order to expedite pending infrastructure works and to release funds for other state works.[32] [33] [34] [35] He also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and requested him to allot the Sravanapalli coal mining block to the PSU Singareni Collieries Company.[36]

In August 2024, he took part in a tour of the United States in a bid to get more companies to invest in Telangana.[37] [38] Many companies, including Amgen and Charles Schwab agreed to open offices in Hyderabad.[39] [40]

Overseas engagements

In June 2009, when Indian students were being attacked in Australia, then Telugu Desam leaders Reddy and Nama Nageswara Rao had visited Melbourne, Australia to meet with International students from India. Reddy had visited hospitals, and travelled in trains and public transport in Melbourne to meet victims, and interact with Indian students in Australia, to get a better understanding of the situation.

Reddy had also visited the Victorian Parliament, and had meetings with then Victorian opposition leader Ted Baillieu, and Ministerial Adviser Mr. Nitin Gupta to raise concerns about Indian students being attacked in Melbourne, Australia. [50] [51]

Controversies

Arrest for bribery

See main article: article and 2015 cash-for-votes scam. On 31 May 2015, Revanth Reddy was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Andhra Pradesh during a sting operation, for bribing nominated MLA Elvis Stephenson to vote in favour of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate in the legislative council election.[52] [53] [54] [55] [56] A criminal case under sections of Prevention of Corruption Act and Sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code was registered against him along with two others – Bishop Sebastian Harry and Uday Simha. On 30 June, the Telangana High Court gave conditional bail. TDP party members celebrated Revanth Reddy's release on 1 July 2015 with a rally. He spent 30 days in jail.[57] [58] Due to the involvement of a TDP MLA, it was suspected that TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu was the main man behind the scam.[59]

In May 2021, when he was a Lok Sabha MP, the Enforcement Directorate filed a chargesheet against him in connection with the scam.[60] [61] In October 2023, 2 months before the 2023 Telangana Legislative Assembly election, the Supreme Court dismissed his plea challenging the ACB court's decision to reject his request in 2021.[62] In February 2024, the Supreme Court heard an appeal and transferred the case to a trial court outside Telangana to ensure that a fair trial takes place.[63] [64] In April 2024, it deferred a hearing until July.[65]

Summons for Circulating Fake Video

Delhi Police has summoned Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy in connection with a controversial video featuring Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The video, shared on social media by the Telangana Congress, was accused of being doctored using deepfake technology.[66] [67] Revanth Reddy's lawyer informed Delhi Police on Wednesday that the Congress leader did not share the alleged doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, asserting that Reddy had no involvement with the video and requesting the withdrawal of the notice.[68] [69] Reddy warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi against making threats in his state after being summoned by the Delhi Police in connection with the doctored video case. Calling the summons "atrocious," Reddy questioned how long PM Modi would continue to govern through fear.[70] [71]
