CM Revanth Reddy says Constitution enabled Telangana formation and hails Dr. Ambedkar on his birth anniversary

The Hindu  

Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy paid tributes with floral offerings at the statue of Dr. B.R. Interestingly, he chose the Ambedkar statue on the Tank Bund road instead of the 125-foot one just a few hundred metres away. The 125-foot statue was inaugurated by former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao during his regime and party sources said that Mr. Reddy opted for the Ambedkar statue on the Tank Bund road to avoid references to the previous BRS regime. Earlier, Mr. Reddy hailed Dr. Ambedkar as a great personality who made efforts to the empowerment of the weaker sections and women. “Ambedkar fought for the rights of the people and became a beacon of hope to the world.” Mr. Reddy recalled that the Constitution framed by Dr. Ambedkar also created the State of Telangana.
