Addressing a public rally after laying the foundation stone for Young India Integrated Residential School at Jataprolu village of Nagarkurnool district, Revanth Reddy recalled that the people of Mahabubnagar, subject to historical neglect, elected KCR as their MP hoping that the district would witness development of infrastructure and irrigation facilities.

“KCR always looked down upon the district, popularly called Palamuru, and had not raised his voice in Parliament even once about the backwardness of the district,” he said.

“Had these issues been addressed in the past decade, would the people of Palamuru still be struggling today?” added the chief minister.
