Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has asserted that the State is witnessing fast track development in different sectors and sought the support of the people in continuing their support to place the State in the top position in the country.

The Chief Minister said he is working 18 hours a day to achieve the goals set by the Congress Government for ensuring robust growth of the State. He was addressing a public meeting after participating in a spree of developmental programmes in his native Kodangal Assembly constituency on Friday (May 8, 2026).

He elaborated about the development works taken up in Kodangal constituency claiming that educational institutions like medical and engineering colleges, nursing and polytechnic colleges and a sainik school were being established in the constituency. Development works in the constituency would be completed within a year-and-a-half and steps were being taken to see that students from across the State come to Kodangal for pursuing higher education.

Industrial park in 2,300 acres at Lagacherla

He thanked the people for their blessings in his becoming the Chief Minister and said the constituency would be transformed into a role model for the country. Accordingly, an industrial park was being established in 2,300 acres at Lagacherla and a major roadway connecting Kodangal with the airport was being developed. Cement industry in the area was set for a boom as 90% works on Vikarabad railway line were completed while steps had been initiated to ensure setting up of units by leading industrial units.

A year deadline for Narayanpet-Kodangal lift irrigation scheme

The Chief Minister directed the officials to complete all developmental works in the constituency by next year end. On the irrigation front, he wanted speedy completion of Narayanpet-Kodangal lift irrigation scheme for bringing Krishna water to the constituency and set a year’s deadline for them. Minister V. Srihari had been entrusted with the responsibility of acquisition of the land required for the project and the process was likely to be completed within a year.

He recalled the plight of the people in the past when they used to travel to Vikarabad and Parigi for educational needs and said several initiatives had been launched for giving access to education and healthcare for the poor. The constituency was bereft with geographical challenges owing to its location in the higher altitudes which denied any possibility of accessing water resources. Steps were therefore initiated to provide connectivity to all villages and thandas.

In addition, several welfare schemes like farm loan waiver, provision of fine rice, Rythu Bharosa, issue of ration and fee reimbursement were being implemented by the government.

The Chief Minister earlier laid foundation stone for construction of Sri Venkateswara temple in Kodangal and said the rituals performed at the Kodangal temple should strictly adhere to the same traditions followed at Tirupati. Construction of Sri Venkateswara Swamy temple in Doulthabad and a Venugopala Swamy temple in Kosgi were also in progress.
