Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy attended the 95th birth anniversary celebrations of former MP late G.Venkataswamy in Hyderabad on Saturday. Venkataswamy was fondly called as ‘Kaka’ who is one among a few leaders from Telangana who rose to national level.
“Don't know if the past leaders saw ‘Kaka’ from the Congress party’s point of view or if they wanted to distance him from the people. I ordered officials to organize Kaka’s birth
anniversary celebrations officially by the government,” he said, adding that it was Venkataswamy, who convinced Congress leader Sonia Gandhi in the formation of Telangana without any hindrance.
Appealing to the poor from this platform, he said the government was always thinking for the wellbeing of the poorer sections. People living along Musi need not to worry. The State government is ready to spend Rs.10,000 crore to help the displaced poor along Musi river.
