Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Friday predicted India’s political future as a contest between the “Gandhi Parivar” and the “Sangh Parivar”, while stating that his remaining political ambition was to see Congress leader Rahul Gandhi become Prime Minister.
The remarks came during his vist to Nilambur, Kerala, after receiving the Aryadan Muhammed–Best Public Servant Award 2026. Striking a comparison between the Gandhi family, he claimed the former party stood for sacrifice and accused the Sangh Parivar of dividing the country on religious, caste, regional and linguistic lines.
“Gandhi Parivar stands for sacrifice. Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi gave up their lives for the country. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi sacrificed post, power and position,” he said.
“The fight for India is between two parivars,” Reddy added, urging people to unite behind the Gandhi family to protect democracy, secularism and freedom.
Reddy said he had no personal political ambition left after two decades in public life. “My only dream is to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister of India,” he said, while expressing confidence in a Congress-led government at the Centre.
He also raised allegations concerning the electoral and political process, using the phrase “vote ki chori, party ki chori, symbol ki chori, funds ki chori”. He alleged that the future of the country’s youth and the integrity of the electoral process were being threatened.
Reddy described Kerala as a “bellwether state” and said a “Congress hawa” had begun there, calling on party workers to turn it into a “tsunami” across the country.
Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar responded to Reddy’s remarks, saying, “For us, it is Nation First. For Congress, it is always Family First.” He added, “No political family can be bigger than the country & no surname can demand the nation’s sacrifice.”
