Revanth Reddy Challenges KCR to Assembly Attendance or Resignation

Addressing a crowd in Nalgonda, Reddy accused the former Chief Minister of abandoning his legislative duties while continuing to collect a salary. He cited a figure of Rs 22,24,40,000 in total compensation drawn by Rao without a single day of attendance, arguing that such conduct would lead to immediate dismissal in any professional workplace.

This confrontation signals a shift in strategy for the Congress party, which has organized public protests calling for Rao to step down. Reddy expressed full confidence that his party would secure victories in both Gajwel and Sircilla should a by-election be triggered by Rao’s potential resignation, aiming to solidify his administration's hold on power.
