The Story in Brief
BRS working president KT Rama Rao vowed on Saturday to name the government medical college in Narsampet after former MLA Peddi Sudarshan Reddy if the party returns to power. Speaking at a memorial meeting, Rama Rao said the party will realise Reddy’s development vision for the constituency. He noted that lakhs attended Reddy’s final journey, showing the respect he earned through the Telangana movement and public service.
Telangana Today reports that Harish Rao became emotional recalling their 25-year association, including the Manukota incident and by-elections. He credited Reddy with securing Devadula waters for reservoirs and persuading the BRS government to sanction a Rs 100-crore project for Narsampet farmers. Rao said Reddy helped establish a government medical college in Narsampet despite it not being a district headquarters.
The Indian Opinion
The promise to name a college after a deceased leader may sound routine, but the emotional heft of Peddi Sudarshan Reddy’s funeral, with lakhs braving rain for hours, challenges the lazy narrative that Telangana politics has lost its fire. The claim that a medical college was sanctioned for a non-district headquarters is a concrete test. Whether the BRS can deliver on this vow, and the 100-crore project, within two years will show if sentiment translates into development.
