Telangana CM Revanth Reddy turns 57, targets one crore women crorepatis by 2034
The Story in Brief
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy marked his 57th birthday on Sunday, 8 November, in his Kodangal constituency with women’s Self-Help Group members. He reiterated his government’s pledge to make one crore women crorepatis by 2034, saying his life would be truly fulfilled if he achieved the target. Reddy said 70 lakh women are already SHG members and the government wants that number to reach one crore.
He received birthday greetings from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, and Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla, among others. Modi wrote wishing Reddy continued good health and a long fulfilling life, Reddy thanked him on X. Congress veteran V. Hanumantha Rao, once a critic of Reddy, hosted a birthday celebration at his residence.
Reddy also inaugurated schools, healthcare centres and a science museum during a three-day tour. He said the government had sanctioned 4.5 lakh new Cheyutha pensions, 3.5 lakh for widows and single women. Targeting BRS leader KTR, Reddy alleged KTR had mistreated his own sister, and ridiculed his claims on women’s empowerment.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s 57th birthday divides between two storylines. Yes Punjab, The Hans India, Deccan Chronicle and The South First report it as a routine political event, listing well-wishers’ names and giving Reddy’s development announcements equal space. The Economic Times, publishing a day later (Monday), also follows the same neutral-report format. M9.news deviates sharply: it leads with Congress veteran V. Hanumantha Rao’s past criticism of Reddy and frames the birthday as a political reconciliation, omitting the women’s empowerment pledges and the details of the Kodangal tour. No source carries a pro-government or critical stance, the split is between event coverage and personal-political narrative. A reader combining the two gets the full public programme alongside the intra-party backstory, ending with the government’s stated target of one crore SHG members by 2034.
