"I am going to cast my vote now. For 10 years, under the KCR government, the farmers of the State suffered. With this election, my greatest expectation from the first-time voters is that they will take the future of Telangana ahead. Congress will make all efforts to fulfill people's expectations. The party will form the government with a 2/3rd majority. Telangana experienced a lot of changes after the Bharat Jodo Yatra. BRS-BJP-AIMIM are trying to defeat Congress together," says Revanth Reddy.
