Revanth Reddy in Telangana
Telangana Congress president Anumula Revanth Reddy, 54, is one of the top leaders in the fray for the top seat.
Congress, though it played a pivotal role in the formation of the state in 2014, it was kept out of power since.
Till 2017, Reddy was almost an outsider in the state politics. He was once in the ABVP, and also in the TRS and the TDP. He joined the Congress only in 2017.
In his first election as a Congress candidate from Kodangal in 2018, Reddy lost, but had bounced back quickly, winning as the Congress MP from Malkajgiri in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
In June 2021, he was chosen as the Telangana PCC chief.
He rose as the combative Opposition leader in the state, putting senior state Congress leaders such as N Uttam Kumar Reddy, T Jayaprakash Reddy, V Hanumantha Rao, Madhu Yakshi Goud, M Shashidhar Reddy, and J Geetha Reddy, behind him.
He won the trust of Congress central leadership and was pitched against BRS chief and Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao from Kamareddy – apart from repeating him in Kodangal.
The Kamareddy assembly constituency is one of the crucial seats this election in Telangana. It is witnessing a close battle between heavyweights BRS supremo and chief minister KCR, his challenger Congress state unit chief Revanth Reddy, and the BJP's K Venkata Ramana Reddy.
KCR is contesting from two seats – Gajwel and Kamareddy. He is an eight-time MLA, from the Siddipet seat six times from 1985 to 2004, and from Gajwel in 2014 and 2018.
