Anumula Revanth Reddy (born 8 November 1969) is an Indian politician who is serving as the second and current Chief Minister of Telangana since 7 December 2023.
[4] In 2009, Revanth was elected to the Andhra Pradesh Assembly from Kodangal constituency with 46.46% votes as a TDP candidate.
[13] On 20 September 2018, he was appointed as one of the three working presidents of Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC), replacing N. Uttam Kumar Reddy.
[28] In May 2024, he was summoned by the Delhi Police after the Telangana Congress shared a doctored video of Amit Shah on its Twitter handle.
[33][34][35][36] He also met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and requested him to allot the Sravanapalli coal mining block to the PSU Singareni Collieries Company.
[40][41] As Chief Minister, he was vocal against residential and commercial properties encroaching on lakes and other water bodies.
In July 2024, the Telangana government formed the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRAA) for taking care of such issues.
[44] In August 2024, HYDRAA was in the news for taking down many under-construction and fully constructed structures which encroached on water bodies in Hyderabad, including a convention centre owned by actor Nagarjuna.
Reddy had visited hospitals, and travelled in trains and public transport in Melbourne to meet victims, and interact with Indian students in Australia, to get a better understanding of the situation.
[57][58] On 31 May 2015, Revanth Reddy was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Andhra Pradesh during a sting operation, for bribing nominated MLA Elvis Stephenson to vote in favour of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) candidate in the legislative council election.
[73][74] Revanth Reddy's lawyer informed Delhi Police on Wednesday that the Congress leader did not share the alleged doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, asserting that Reddy had no involvement with the video and requesting the withdrawal of the notice.
[75][76] Reddy warned Prime Minister Narendra Modi against making threats in his state after being summoned by the Delhi Police in connection with the doctored video case.
Calling the summons "atrocious," Reddy questioned how long PM Modi would continue to govern through fear.
