Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has taken a firm stand in favor of religious respect and inclusivity amidst criticism for wearing a skullcap during the Jubilee Hills by-election campaign. The CM highlighted the importance of respecting all faiths, arguing that such gestures are part of upholding equality.

Reddy responded to remarks from BJP's Bandi Sanjay Kumar by referencing past instances where Prime Minister Narendra Modi wore a similar cap, questioning the opposition's policies on religious minorities. He emphasized that any disdain towards Muslim minorities reflects a 'poverty of thought'.

Addressing the broader political landscape, Reddy criticized BJP and BRS, alleging their alignment. As the Jubilee Hills election looms, he urged voters to remember Congress's historical contributions to development in Hyderabad, while brushing off protests and financial disputes as areas his government plans to address systematically.
