Revanthuddin’ Remark Accepted With Pride At Nizamabad Meeting
Hyderabad, Feb. 7 (Maxim News) : Chief Minister Revanth Reddy asserted that the Congress party remains firmly committed to the welfare of Muslims.
While responding strongly to criticism from the BJP. Addressing a public meeting in Nizamabad, the Chief Minister said he had no objection to being called by different names, including “Revanthuddin,” as long as the intent was to divide society on religious or caste lines.
Revanth Reddy referred to remarks made by BJP leader Ramachander Rao, who allegedly criticised him by calling him “Revanthuddin.”
However, the Chief Minister said such comments did not affect him. Instead, he said he would happily accept any name, including Revanthuddin, Revanth Goud, Madiga or Mudiraj, as he believes in loving and respecting all sections of society.
Reddy made it clear that his politics was inclusive and not based on identity-based hatred. Meanwhile, the Chief Minister reiterated that the Congress government stands by its promises to minorities. Revanth said the party has always acted beyond symbolic gestures and focused on real representation and empowerment.
As an example, he pointed out that Azharuddin was made a minister even though he was not an MLA. According to Revanth Reddy, this decision reflected the Congress party’s intention to give capable leaders responsibility, regardless of political arithmetic.

Continuing his speech, Revanth Reddy said the Congress party would fulfil whatever Muslims need for their welfare and progress.
Revanth Reddy stressed that the party’s approach was rooted in constitutional values and social justice.
Therefore, he dismissed allegations that the Congress was engaging in appeasement politics. Instead, he said the party believed in equal opportunity and dignity for every community.
However, he also warned against attempts to poison public discourse through divisive language. Reddy said political criticism should remain within limits and should not insult communities or leaders.
According to him, such remarks only weaken democratic values and social harmony. He added that people were closely watching how parties behaved and how leaders spoke in public.
Later, Revanth Reddy said Telangana politics was witnessing an unhealthy trend of personal and community-based attacks.
He urged political rivals to focus on development, governance and public welfare instead of name-calling.
Revanth Reddy maintained that the Congress would continue to work for all sections, including minorities, backward classes and marginalised communities.
The Chief Minister’s comments have since triggered political discussion, especially over identity politics and minority welfare.
However, Revanth Reddy made it clear that he was confident of public support, as people valued inclusive leadership over divisive rhetoric. He concluded by saying that respect, equality and justice would remain at the core of the Congress government’s policies in Telangana. (Maxim News)
