Controversies

[edit]

Arrest for bribery

[edit]
Main article: 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.[55][56][57][58][59] 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.[60][61] Due to the involvement of a TDP MLA, it was suspected that TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu was the main man behind the scam.[62]

In May 2021, when he was a Lok Sabha MP, the Enforcement Directorate filed a chargesheet against him in connection with the scam.[63][64] 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.[65] 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.[66][67] In April 2024, it deferred a hearing until July.[68]

Summons for Circulating Fake Video

[edit]
Further information: 2024 Indian general election

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.[69][70] 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.[71][72] 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.[73][74]

Remarks Against Police Personnel (2023)

[edit]

In 2023, Revanth Reddy allegedly made derogatory remarks about police officers during a party event at Gandhi Bhavan. He was reported to have said that he had recorded the names of certain officers involved in political activities and that appropriate action would be taken against them. A case was filed under Indian Penal Code Section 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace). In May 2025, he appeared before a special magistrate in Hyderabad and denied the allegations, calling them "false and baseless" and politically motivated.[75]

Supreme Court Warning Over Legislative Remarks

[edit]

In April 2024, the Supreme Court of India issued a warning to Revanth Reddy following his comments during a legislative session, where he allegedly claimed that there would be no by-elections even if MLAs defected. The court expressed concern that such statements could undermine the constitutional process and warned his legal counsel to advise him accordingly.[76]

Comments on Journalists (2025)

[edit]

In March 2025, Reddy faced backlash for comments directed at individuals he described as "fake journalists" spreading derogatory content about him and his family. He warned that such individuals could be "stripped and paraded in public," which drew sharp criticism from journalists and opposition leaders. Reddy later clarified that his comments were aimed at combating misinformation.[77]

Economic mismanagement of Telengana's Economy

[edit]

Since assuming power, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has driven Telangana into a deep fiscal crisis through unchecked populism and financially reckless welfare schemes. Under the previous TRS regime, Telangana borrowed around ₹5.6 lakh crore, of which approximately 50% (₹2.8 lakh crore) was invested in capital expenditure—fueling infrastructure, irrigation, and power growth. In stark contrast, the Congress government has already borrowed over ₹77,000 crore, yet spent only ₹9,447 crore, or just 12% of that on capital projects—signaling a complete neglect of development. The state now requires ₹22,000 crore per month to function but raises only ₹18,000 crore, leaving a 22% deficit every month. Of that, ₹6,500 crore (35%) goes to salaries and pensions, another ₹6,500 crore (35%) to debt servicing—leaving a measly ₹5,000 crore (just 28%) for all welfare, infrastructure, and development programs. With revenue collections collapsing—GST growth crawling at 5.5%, stamp duty collection at just 77% of the target—and no lender willing to fund this spiraling deficit, the Revanth Reddy government has effectively paralyzed the state’s economy. His administration has turned a revenue-starved Telangana into a debt-ridden liability, mortgaging its future for short-term political gains.[78] [79] [80] [81]

This period shaped his early political outlook, fostering skills in mobilization and public advocacy that he later applied in electoral politics.

Initial electoral forays

Revanth Reddy entered electoral politics through local body elections in undivided .

This victory represented an expansion of his influence beyond village-level representation, drawing on support from elected local body members across the state. These early contests occurred during Reddy's initial involvement with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), though his MLC bid proceeded independently, reflecting a period of testing political waters amid the statehood movement. His successes in these lower-stakes elections demonstrated organizational skills and local rapport, garnering approximately the required votes from ZPTC and Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituency members for the council seat, but also highlighted the challenges of party alignment in nascent stages.

Vittal Rao. The TDP-led alliance, including Telangana Rashtra Samithi, secured a , though TDP itself won only 15 seats statewide; Reddy's success in underscored his local influence in district. Reddy rose within TDP ranks to become the working president of its Telangana unit, but tensions arose over the party's potential alliance with TRS for the 2019 general elections. He resigned from TDP on October 28, 2017, criticizing the leadership's strategic shifts and expressing intent to continue as an independent opponent to TRS dominance.

Internal conflicts and departure

He opposed the move, viewing it as a compromise that undermined TDP's opposition to TRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao's government. Tensions escalated in late October 2017 when TDP stripped Reddy of his titles as working president and assembly floor leader, prompting him to revolt by planning a TDP legislative party meeting without high command approval. On October 28, 2017, he formally resigned from the party primary membership, his organizational posts, and his MLA position, stating that recent developments in the Telangana unit had caused him significant pain and that his exit was part of a broader effort to form a united front against TRS rule.

This transition marked Reddy's second major party affiliation change, following his earlier independent electoral successes in local bodies and the prior to aligning with TDP in 2008. Reddy's switch prompted a by-election in Kodangal, where he did not contest independently but prepared to re-enter the fray under Congress banners in subsequent polls, signaling his commitment to the new party despite the brief interregnum without formal affiliation. The move was viewed by observers as opportunistic given TDP's post-2014 electoral setbacks in the region, though Reddy framed it as principled opposition politics.

Rise within Congress ranks

Key appointees included (), (Civil Supplies), T. Nirmala (Panchayat Raj), (Women and Child Welfare), Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy (Revenue), D. Damodar Rajanarasimha (Labour), Jupaka Balaram (Tribal Welfare), and others such as Kathi and Tukaram B. Portfolios were formally allocated on 9 December 2023 via notification, with Revanth Reddy retaining oversight of municipal administration and urban development, general administration, law and order, and other unallocated areas to centralize control over critical functions. Deputy Chief Minister was assigned finance, planning, and energy; Uttam Kumar Reddy received irrigation, food, and civil supplies; and Sridhar Babu took , , and industries, aligning departmental leadership with the government's developmental focus. The cabinet's immediate priorities centered on implementing the Indian National Congress's six pre-election guarantees to address agrarian distress, household welfare, and gender equity, amid fiscal constraints inherited from the prior BRS administration. In its first actions, the government announced a waiver of crop loans up to ₹2 lakh per farmer, totaling approximately ₹18,000 crore disbursed within the initial month to alleviate debt burdens for around 64 lakh farmers. Preparations began for rolling out free electricity up to 200 units per household (Gruha Jyothi), subsidized gas cylinders (Mahalakshmi), and annual financial aid to women (Indiramma), alongside expanding health coverage under Aarogyasri and increasing pensions for the elderly and vulnerable. These measures, ratified in early cabinet meetings, aimed at rapid fulfillment of manifesto commitments but raised concerns over long-term fiscal sustainability given Telangana's existing debt of over ₹3 lakh crore. Administrative reforms, including transfers of over 400 officials and formation of implementation committees, were also prioritized to streamline bureaucracy and combat perceived corruption from the previous regime.

Welfare and social programs

Upon assuming office in December 2023, the Revanth Reddy administration prioritized the implementation of six party guarantees, emphasizing direct financial transfers, subsidies, and expanded access to for women, farmers, the poor, and vulnerable groups. These initiatives, often branded under the "Mahalakshmi" umbrella for women and "Rythu Bharosa" for , aimed to address immediate needs amid Telangana's fiscal constraints, with monthly revenues of approximately Rs 18,500 crore largely directed toward recurring welfare expenditures. The Mahalakshmi Scheme, launched on December 9, 2023, provides free travel on state-run buses for women and persons, subsidized LPG cylinders at Rs 500 each, and Rs 2,500 monthly financial assistance to eligible women heads of households with annual family incomes below Rs 2 . By December 2024, the free bus component had boosted ridership and occupancy, with government expenditure estimated at Rs 3,500 crore, though eligibility verification has focused on permanent residents from below-poverty-line categories. In healthcare, the Rajiv Arogyasri scheme's coverage limit was enhanced from 5 to 10 per family annually starting December 2023, extending to all citizens and incorporating the "Cheyutha" sub-scheme for up to 10 in free medical aid; 65 new procedures were added by June 2024, implemented via 1,402 network hospitals. Complementing this, the Chief Minister's Relief Fund disbursed 830 crore for emergency medical treatments in the first year, setting a record for such allocations. For housing, the Indiramma Scheme targets homeless poor families with Rs 5 lakh per unit in financial aid, sanctioning 3,500 units per constituency; the first phase distributed Rs 1 lakh cheques to beneficiaries in April 2025, alongside directives for free sand supply and village-level committees by September 2024. However, progress faced delays in July 2025 due to non-compliance with norms flagged by the central government. Agricultural support under Rythu Bharosa, rolled out on January 26, 2025, alongside launches of Rythu Aathmiya Bharosa for landless laborers and five new ration cards, offers Rs 12,000 annual investment aid per acre to eligible farmers based on revenue records, with Rs 19,000 allocated; funds were credited to those holding up to five acres by June 2025, though revised guidelines excluding certain categories drew criticism from farmers. Additional minority-focused programs, such as the Indiramma Minority Mahila Yojana providing Rs 50,000 to widows, divorcees, and orphans, were introduced in September 2025.

Infrastructure and urban development initiatives

In October 2025, the Telangana government under Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy allocated ₹2,780 crore to 138 urban local bodies for infrastructure enhancements, including construction of internal roads, stormwater and sewage drainage systems, and development of merged municipal areas to bridge urban-rural gaps. This funding, part of the Telangana Rising Vision 2027, targeted prioritizing newly formed municipalities and those incorporating surrounding villages, aiming to elevate Greater Hyderabad and other cities as growth hubs. Reddy has emphasized Hyderabad's urban renewal, directing officials in June 2025 to formulate a comprehensive 25-year urban policy centered on the core area within the Outer (ORR), incorporating sustainable and infrastructure upgrades. Key projects include the Phase-II expansion of the Rail, reviewed by Reddy in January 2024 to extend connectivity across the city. Additionally, the administration launched the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) in 2024 to reclaim and restore lakes and water bodies, demolishing illegal constructions within full tank levels and reviving six lakes by September 2025 as part of environmental protection efforts. In October 2025, Reddy pushed for a revised (TDR) policy to incentivize lake rejuvenation by compensating property owners. A flagship initiative is the Bharat Future City project, unveiled by Reddy in September 2025, envisioning a 15,000-acre (later expanded to over 30,000 acres in phases) global hub between the ORR and Regional Ring Road (), with a 10-year development timeline to attract all companies by 2035 through zones for AI, health, education, and , connected by a ₹4,621 Ratan Tata Greenfield Highway. Complementary efforts include the Musi River rejuvenation, featuring 39 new sewage treatment plants at ₹3,849 to ensure cleanliness, alongside the SPEED initiative's 19 major projects—such as ring roads and elevated corridors—for which Reddy mandated timelines in January 2025 after initial delays. These measures integrate with broader plans for a hub between the ORR and , launched in February 2025.

Economic policies and performance

Fiscal inheritance and debt management

Upon assuming office in December 2023, the Congress government led by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy inherited a substantial public debt from the previous Bharat Rashtra Samithi administration, with the state's debt projected to reach ₹3,89,673 crore by the end of fiscal year 2023-24 according to budget estimates cited in the government's white paper. Reddy has attributed a total fiscal burden exceeding ₹8 lakh crore, encompassing core loans of approximately ₹6.71 lakh crore as of December 1, 2023, alongside ₹40,000 crore in pending bills and other liabilities. This figure includes off-budget borrowings and guarantees, though Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) data reports audited outstanding debt at ₹3,09,563 crore for 2022-23, reflecting a roughly 300% increase from ₹77,333 crore in 2014-15. The inheritance also featured an empty treasury and revenue deficits, with the state shifting from surplus in earlier years to deficits exacerbated by high debt-servicing costs. Debt management under Reddy has prioritized servicing prior obligations amid constrained revenues, with annual repayments totaling around ₹66,000 dedicated to legacy BRS-era loans. The administration borrowed ₹1.58 by March 2025, of which ₹1.53 was allocated to principal and repayments, including ₹19,879 in principal and ₹29,956 in on select high-burden loans like those tied to projects. To address cash flow shortfalls for salaries and operations, the government secured monthly ways-and-means advances of ₹4,000 from the starting in early 2025. Longer-term strategies include appeals to the 16th for and higher central fund devolution to 50% of revenues, aiming to alleviate the burden from high-interest loans inherited from previous regimes. Reddy has emphasized that much of current fiscal capacity is consumed by debt obligations—estimated at ₹7,000 monthly—limiting and welfare expansions, though critics from the BRS contend that state assets outpace liabilities and that new borrowings under have accelerated without corresponding productivity gains. By March 2024, total debt per CAG stood at ₹5,17,659 , or 34.47% of gross state domestic product, underscoring ongoing pressures despite repayment efforts.

Revenue generation efforts and challenges

Upon assuming office in December 2023, the Revanth Reddy-led government inherited a fiscal burden from the previous (BRS) administration, including over ₹8,500 crore in unpaid retirement benefits and substantial arrears in power subsidies, which constrained initial revenue mobilization. To address this, Reddy directed revenue-generating departments to coordinate efforts, emphasizing increases in Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections as a , and instructed officials in 2024 to explore additional revenue enhancement strategies. Key initiatives included revising land market values in May 2024 to stimulate and sectors, thereby boosting and registration revenues in alignment with state fiscal needs. State own tax revenues showed early gains, with collections rising to ₹4,100 in December 2023, ₹3,848 in January 2024, and ₹4,446 in February 2024, reflecting improved enforcement and economic activity. By the end of 2024-25, revenue receipts reached ₹1.67 , achieving 75.85% of the projected ₹2.21 , supported by growth in sectors like services contributing 66.3% to Gross State . The government also pursued investment attraction to diversify revenue streams, with Reddy claiming in May 2025 that ranked first nationally in securing investments totaling ₹3 lakh , alongside pitches emphasizing , safety, and skilled labor during international engagements. For fiscal 2025-26, tax revenue projections were set at ₹1,45,419 , up from ₹1,29,406 the prior year, with monthly targets mandated across departments. Despite these measures, significant challenges persisted, including a precarious fiscal position acknowledged by Reddy in May 2025, where he warned of near-bankruptcy risks due to inherited debts exceeding manageable levels and difficulties in securing fresh loans from financial institutions. shortfalls were evident, with critics noting plummeting collections in key sectors and unchecked public expenditure amid ballooning debts, leading to a reliance on market borrowings estimated at ₹64,539 for 2025-26. remained stalled in some areas, exacerbating economic strain, while opposition sources highlighted failures to meet welfare commitments without further fiscal deterioration.

Criticisms of economic outcomes

Critics, including leaders from the opposition (BRS), have faulted the Revanth Reddy administration for worsening Telangana's fiscal position through unchecked borrowing and inadequate revenue mobilization, despite inheriting substantial s from the prior BRS government. State reportedly surpassed Rs 2 lakh within 19 months of assuming power in December 2023, with fresh borrowings totaling Rs 1.66 lakh by March 2025, contributing to monthly loan repayments and interest exceeding Rs 7,000 . By October 2025, total had climbed to Rs 2.13 lakh after additional Rs 1,000 loans, prompting accusations of steering the state into a deeper trap via populist spending without structural reforms. BRS working president K.T. Rama Rao labeled the economy's trajectory a "free-fall" in August 2025, attributing sluggish growth in own tax revenue (2.2 percent), overall revenue income (2.5 percent), and total revenue (5.8 percent) for 2024-25 to governmental incompetence and policy missteps. A decline in GST collections was similarly blamed on administrative inexperience, with sectors like agriculture and real estate described as in disarray, exacerbating deflationary pressures that struck the state for the third time in 2025 and signaling stalled economic activity. The absence of capital expenditure has drawn particular scrutiny, with Reddy admitting in May 2025 to a cash crunch preventing infrastructure investments and leaving coffers depleted for essential outlays like pensions and contractor dues. Critics contend this has halted business investments, restricted loan access for traders, and undermined long-term growth, while projections indicate outstanding liabilities could reach Rs 5.46 lakh crore by March 2026—equivalent to 28.1 percent of gross state domestic product—amid opaque accounting and escalating welfare costs. Such outcomes have fueled broader concerns over fiscal sustainability, with BRS figures arguing that unfulfilled promises on jobs and farmer aid have compounded the inherited burdens rather than alleviating them.

Law and order administration

Police reforms and encounters

Upon assuming office as , A. Revanth Reddy emphasized strengthening through technological integration and operational efficiencies, while maintaining a firm stance against . In September 2025, the signed a with the Indian Police Foundation to implement reforms in 30 police stations across Cyberabad Commissionerate and , focusing on and improved practices. On October 17, 2025, Reddy unveiled the website and logo for the Complaints Authority (TGSPCA), aimed at processing public complaints against police misconduct. Reddy has publicly commended the for leading national efforts in adopting advanced technologies and innovative policies, crediting their courage with effectively eliminating the Maoist threat in the state. On October 22, 2025, he directed the immediate closure of all transport check posts statewide, reallocating personnel to frontline duties to enhance efficiency and reduce bureaucratic hurdles in . He has reiterated a policy of "no compromise" on law and order, describing "friendly policing" as applicable only to law-abiding citizens, and appealed to remaining Maoists to surrender and reintegrate into society. Regarding police encounters, a notable incident occurred on , 2025, in Nizamabad, where Sheik Riyaz, accused of murdering police constable E. Pramod, was shot dead inside a hospital. Police stated that Riyaz, who was injured and under custody, seized a from an escorting , attacked personnel, and threatened medical staff, prompting officers to open fire in to protect doctors and nurses. Riyaz's mother alleged it was a staged killing, prompting the Telangana State to take suo motu cognizance and initiate an inquiry. This event drew comparisons to prior high-profile encounters, such as the 2019 Hyderabad case involving suspects in a veterinarian's and , though it occurred under the previous administration. Civil society groups have urged Reddy's government to review expansive police surveillance systems established over the prior decade and address alleged unlawful practices, though no specific policy changes in this area have been announced as of October 2025. Reddy has pledged unwavering support to families of police personnel killed in the , honoring their sacrifices during events like Police Martyrs' Memorial Day on October 21, 2025.

Handling of public unrest

In April 2025, students and faculty at the protested the government's plan to auction 400 acres of land adjacent to the campus in Kancha , claiming it encroached on green space and university interests. Police responded with a lathi charge on , injuring approximately 20 protesters, alongside detentions and preventive custody of demonstrators. The action drew condemnation from student groups like the Progressive Democratic Students Union (PDSU) and CPI(M), who accused the government of brutality and burned effigies of Revanth Reddy. In October 2024, job aspirants protesting the scheduling of Group I examinations gathered outside government offices and the Chief Minister's residence, demanding postponement amid allegations of irregularities. Revanth Reddy publicly urged candidates to end the agitation and participate in the exams starting , emphasizing that protests would not alter the process. Similar demonstrations by job seekers in July 2024, including night protests in Hyderabad neighborhoods like Ashoknagar, highlighted ongoing tensions over recruitment timelines, though specific police responses were limited to crowd dispersal without reported major . Opposition-led protests, such as those by (BRS) members in August 2024 against Revanth Reddy's remarks on an opposition MLA, resulted in detentions of leaders including . In October 2024, demonstrators protesting alleged idol desecration in Hyderabad faced a lathi charge from police, prompting accusations from Union Minister of governmental inaction on the underlying issue despite the forceful dispersal. More recently, in October 2025, Backward Classes (BC) protests against a stay on 42% local body reservations escalated into violence, including an attack on a petrol pump in Hyderabad, leading to a statewide and shutdown, with police managing the unrest through heightened security but facing criticism for inadequate prevention. These incidents reflect a pattern of police-led interventions, including lathi charges and detentions, to contain protests, often coupled with public appeals from Revanth Reddy to de-escalate. Critics, including opposition parties and activists, have labeled the approach as heavy-handed, while the government maintains it prioritizes law and order amid fiscal constraints inherited from prior administrations.

International and overseas engagements

Foreign visits for investment

As Chief Minister of Telangana, A. Revanth Reddy has led multiple international delegations under the "TelanganaRising" initiative to promote the state as an investment destination, focusing on sectors such as , semiconductors, electric vehicles, and pharmaceuticals.

Additional planned trips, such as to in early 2025, combined investment promotion with sports development outreach. These MoUs represent non-binding intent rather than guaranteed inflows, with realization dependent on subsequent negotiations and policy execution.

Diplomatic interactions

As Chief Minister of Telangana, A. Revanth Reddy has pursued sub-national diplomatic engagements to enhance bilateral ties, often focusing on sectors like , urban development, and investment facilitation. These interactions include hosting foreign delegations and meeting ambassadors in , distinct from his outbound investment missions. A notable example is the Bharat Summit held in Hyderabad in April 2025, where hosted over 350 delegates from more than 95 countries, including senior foreign leaders, ministers, and representatives from global think tanks, positioning the state as a pioneer in India's sub-national . In January 2024, shortly after assuming office, Reddy hosted a dinner for representatives from 13 countries at the Qutub Shahi Tombs in Hyderabad, aimed at building goodwill and exploring collaborative opportunities. On November 12, 2024, he met Dutch Ambassador to Marisa at his official residence in during a courtesy visit, discussing potential areas of cooperation. Reddy's engagements intensified in 2025.

Controversies and criticisms

Bribery allegations and arrests

On May 31, 2015, Revanth Reddy, then a (TDP) MLA from , was arrested by the Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for allegedly attempting to nominated MLA with ₹50 lakh to secure support for TDP's candidate in the Graduates' Constituency bye-election for the . The ACB claimed Reddy was caught red-handed during a , with video evidence purportedly showing the transaction attempt, leading to charges under Section 12 of the (as applicable pre-2018 amendments, targeting bribe-givers indirectly via abetment), and Section 120B of the for criminal conspiracy. Following the , the ACB conducted raids on Reddy's residence and those of associates, recovering documents and , though no additional direct evidence of broader vote-buying networks was publicly detailed at the time. A charge sheet was filed in July 2015 against Reddy and co-accused, including TDP leaders, formalizing the and allegations. Reddy was granted shortly after, and the case proceeded through lower courts, with trials delayed amid jurisdictional and procedural challenges. Reddy has consistently contested the case's validity, arguing in the in October 2025 that the ACB trap was "completely illegal" due to lack of and tactics, rendering prosecution unsustainable under the pre-2018 Prevention of Act, which he claims did not criminalize bribe-giving without a public servant's demand. His counsel, senior advocate (earlier Mukul ), emphasized that Section 12 applied primarily to bribe-takers, not initiators, and post-2018 amendments inserting Section 9 (explicitly penalizing bribe-giving) could not retroactively apply. The heard arguments but has not quashed the case as of October 2025, with the matter listed for further hearing. No convictions have resulted from this allegation, and it remains the principal case directly involving Reddy's , though opposition figures from the (BRS) have referenced it alongside unproven claims of his involvement in other corruption probes, such as mentions in chargesheets related to the National Herald case, without leading to additional arrests on bribery charges.

Inflammatory public remarks

In December 2023, shortly after assuming office as , Revanth Reddy sparked widespread during an Roundtable by claiming that leader K. Chandrashekar Rao's "DNA is " and asserting that " DNA is better than DNA," linking it to KCR's caste origins and migration from . The remark drew sharp criticism from the , with leader labeling it "shameful, divisive and arrogant," demanding an apology from Reddy, the , and the bloc for insulting Biharis. Critics, including , condemned it as derogatory toward 's people, fueling accusations of regional amid Reddy's emphasis on 's distinct identity. On August 6, 2025, while protesting at Delhi's for presidential assent on Backward Class quota bills, Reddy warned that "whoever it is, whether rich or in any position, if he comes against Rahul Gandhi's command or rule, is going to write his death order," interpreted by opponents as a to political rivals opposing ideology. The Chief Minister's Office later clarified it referred to "political death," but the statement elicited backlash for its aggressive tone, with BJP leaders decrying it as authoritarian against dissenters. During a July 31, 2024, Telangana Assembly session debating the Vote on Account, Reddy's reference to two Bharat Rashtra Samithi women MLAs as akin to those at "Jubilee Bus Stand"—a Hyderabad location stereotyped with prostitution—triggered chaos, with opposition members protesting the perceived misogynistic slur and demanding an apology. The next day, Reddy retracted by stating he views women MLAs as "sisters," but BRS legislators continued protests with black badges, accusing him of disrespecting women in public office. In March 2025, addressing online abuse against him and his family, Reddy threatened that perpetrators "will be stripped, paraded in public," evoking vigilante-style punishment reminiscent of historical shaming practices, which opponents criticized as inciting mob violence and eroding . This followed a pattern of heated responses to criticism, including an August 2025 outburst where he expressed feeling "like slapping" young journalists for perceived biased questioning. Such statements have been attributed by supporters to Reddy's combative political style, but detractors argue they undermine civil discourse and risk communal or regional tensions.

Allegations of governance failures and corruption probes

Opposition parties, including the (BRS) and (BJP), have leveled accusations of administrative incompetence against the Revanth Reddy-led government in , citing delays in disbursing funds for such as building rents for Gurukul welfare residential schools, which BRS working president described as exposing "utter incompetence" on October 8, 2025. further demanded a public apology from Reddy on September 6, 2025, for broader governance lapses amid public resentment over unfulfilled promises and financial strain. These criticisms extended to an alleged agrarian and , with Rao attributing it to policy shortcomings on September 5, 2025. Infrastructure-related failures have drawn particular scrutiny, including the government's handling of the Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapse in February 2025, where Rao alleged systemic and leading to worker fatalities and delays in body retrieval operations as late as May 21, 2025. BRS leader criticized inadequate flood relief efforts on September 22, 2025, labeling the response as "completely inadequate" amid ongoing recovery needs. BJP leaders have highlighted internal conflicts, lack of transparency, and failure to deliver on key election pledges like welfare schemes, as noted in party statements on October 24, 2025. Regarding corruption probes, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) demanded an investigation into alleged irregularities in the Excise Department on October 23, 2025, urging Reddy to order a probe amid claims of graft under his administration. BJP state chief called for a formal inquiry into unspecified allegations against Reddy on October 17, 2025, linking the Congress regime to systemic corruption. Reddy's name appeared in an chargesheet related to the National Herald case, prompting BRS accusations of exposed corruption on May 23, 2025, though no convictions have resulted. A 2015 cash-for-vote case against Reddy, involving an alleged attempt to influence a nominated MLA's vote, was quashed by the and upheld by the on September 27, 2025, with his counsel arguing the Anti-Corruption Bureau trap was procedurally illegal under the Prevention of Corruption Act as applicable then. These probes and demands largely stem from political rivals, with no independent judicial findings of guilt in ongoing matters as of October 2025.
