Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has made a bold prediction about the future of Indian politics, declaring that the Congress party will remain in power for the next decade until 2034. The statement came during a political address where he also launched a sharp attack against the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government.
Allegations of Investment Diversion
In his most explosive claim, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy directly accused Union Minister G Kishan Reddy of participating in what he described as a systematic effort to redirect industrial investments away from Telangana. The CM alleged that businesses showing interest in establishing operations in Telangana were being deliberately 'diverted' to Gujarat, and he didn't mince words when pointing fingers at the highest level of government.
'At the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi,' Reddy claimed, 'industries that want to invest in our state are being pressured to move to Gujarat instead.' This serious allegation suggests a pattern of preferential treatment that could significantly impact Telangana's economic development and job creation prospects.
Political Implications and State Development
The timing of these statements is particularly significant given the current political landscape in India. Reddy's prediction of Congress remaining in power until 2034 represents a strong vote of confidence in his party's longevity, while simultaneously challenging the dominance of the ruling BJP at the center.
These allegations come amid ongoing tensions between state governments and the central administration over economic policies and industrial development. The claim that Telangana is losing potential investments to Gujarat could resonate with voters concerned about regional development and fair treatment of all states regardless of their ruling party.
Broader Economic Concerns
Beyond the immediate political confrontation, Reddy's statements highlight deeper concerns about federalism and equitable development across Indian states. If proven true, the practice of diverting investments could have long-term consequences for Telangana's economic growth and industrial landscape.
The Chief Minister's remarks, made on November 9, 2025, have set the stage for a potentially heated political debate about the relationship between state and central governments, and how investment decisions are influenced by political considerations rather than economic merit.
As the political drama unfolds, all eyes will be on how the central government responds to these serious allegations and whether evidence emerges to support the claims of systematic investment diversion from Telangana to Gujarat.
