Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Wednesday called upon the Yadav community to actively partner in Telangana’s development journey, stating that its support would be crucial for the successful implementation of flagship projects such as the Musi river rejuvenation, Metro Rail Phase II and Bharat Future City.Addressing the Sadar Sammelan organised by the Sri Krishna Sadar Utsav Committee, led by former MP M Anjan Kumar Yadav and Rajya Sabha member M Anil Kumar Yadav, the CM extended his greetings to the Yadav community and described the celebrations as a symbol of self-respect and pride for the people of Telangana.Revanth said the Congress govt had accorded official recognition to the Sadar Sammelan by declaring it a state festival three years ago.Highlighting the govt’s social justice agenda, he said Telangana had successfully conducted a caste census in a manner that could serve as a model for the rest of the country. He reiterated that the Congress govt was committed to ensuring that the Yadav community received its rightful share and adequate representation in political and other spheres.Appreciating the community’s significant contribution to Hyderabad’s growth, the CM sought its continued support in transforming both Hyderabad and Telangana into national models of development.Recollecting the city’s historical connection with the Yadav community, Revanth said Golconda Fort was historically known as ‘Golla Konda’. He noted that the community had played an important role in the development of Hyderabad and had warmly welcomed people who migrated to the city from different parts of the country.Pointing out that no previous govt had accorded state festival status to the Sadar Sammelan, Revanth said his govt had taken the initiative to recognise the celebrations officially and had also sanctioned Rs 5 crore towards organising the event.Referring to the political representation extended to the community, he noted that M Anil Kumar Yadav had been given an opportunity to serve in the Rajya Sabha, while V Naveen Yadav had been elected as an MLA. He also mentioned the appointment of P Eshwaramma Yadav to the Yadagirigutta temple board and said the govt was strengthening facilities for cow protection at the Yadagirigutta goshala.Emphasising Telangana’s ambition to emerge as one of the most developed states in the country, Revanth said major initiatives such as the Musi river development programme, Metro Rail expansion and Bharat Future City would play a crucial role in achieving this vision. He called upon the Yadav community to extend its cooperation and support in realising the state’s development goals.Bihar’s former deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, RJD MP Sanjay Yadav, Samajwadi Party MPs Dharmendra Yadav and Akshay Yadav from Uttar Pradesh, and former MP Lal Singh from Jammu and Kashmir were among the prominent politicians who attended the event.
