Telangana Chief Minister A. Revant Reddy used the Diwali holiday on November 8 to showcase the state’s Indiramma housing scheme, meeting a beneficiary family in Paraspur, Kodangal, Vikarabad district. The CM, flanked by ministers and legislators, unveiled the fresh home of Gorpalli Sumitra and Srinivas, gifting the household new clothing and a celebratory meal that featured premium rice.

Key dignitaries such as Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar, Minister Siethaka, Minister Jupally Krishna Rao and senior party members joined the family for a communal lunch. The event concluded with local children lighting crackers and receiving pens from the Chief Minister.

The Chief Minister’s itinerary also included the inauguration of a new Sir C.V. Raman Science Museum building in Narayanpet and the opening of a newly built police station at Dudyal, underscoring the state’s broader development agenda.
