Telangana Congress Chief Revanth Reddy appears to have significantly influenced the trajectory of the Congress party in the state. Despite joining the party only six years ago, the 56-year-old politician has rapidly ascended the ranks to become the working president of the state unit, a Member of Parliament, and currently holds the position of Telangana Congress president. Reddy's leadership style has garnered both praise and criticism, particularly for his willingness to openly critique members of his own party. Additionally, he has been observed expressing admiration for his mentor, N Chandrababu Naidu, and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), where he was previously a member and served as a two-time TDP MLA.


Born on November 8, 1969, in Kondareddy Palli of Mahboobnagar district, Reddy is a graduate in arts from A. V. College, Osmania University. During his student years, he was associated with the right-wing ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad). Following the completion of his studies, Revanth initiated a venture in the form of a printing press.
