Venkaiah Naidu Pats CM’s Push for Telugu in Governance
Hyderabad: Former vice president M. Venkaiah Naidu lauded Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s commitment to promoting Telugu in administration, citing how he directed a district collector to switch from English to Telugu during a review meeting recently.
Speaking at the Sankranti celebrations organized by the Hyderabad chapter of Swarna Bharat Trust at the Muchintal campus in Rangareddy district, Naidu recalled that he had earlier urged the Chief Ministers of both the Telugu states to strengthen the language in administration and education. “They agreed and Revanth implemented it immediately by correcting a collector,” he said, adding that despite divisions in the state, Telugu people remained united.
Naidu inaugurated the Muppavarapu Foundation building, planted trees to highlight the importance given to the environment and emphasized the role of Sankranti in strengthening family and community bonds. He reiterated his stand against political family succession and handed over the responsibilities of Swarna Bharat Trust and Muppavarapu Foundation, which focuses on youth skill development, women empowerment and healthcare in Hyderabad, Vijayawada and Nellore, to his son Harshavardhan and daughter Deepa.
The event had a large turnout including Tripura Governor Nallu Indrasena Reddy, Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, state BJP president N. Ramchander Rao, former AP minister Kamineni Srinivas, former MP KVP Ramachandra Rao, Rajya Sabha MP K. Laxman, actor Brahmanandam, MLAs Sujana Chowdary and Prakash Goud and spiritual speaker Garikipati Narasimha Rao. “Sankranti Prashastyam.”
Kishan Reddy lauded the foundation’s services and noted the growing national appeal of Sankranti, echoing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to reconnect with cultural roots during festivals.
