Hyderabad: Delhi Bound: Revanth’s DCC Power Play
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy touched down in New Delhi on October 25, 2025, setting the stage for high-stakes talks with All India Congress Committee (AICC) leaders. The visit, timed amid internal party maneuvers, focuses on sealing appointments for District Congress Committee (DCC) presidents, a process months in the making.
With grassroots input now in hand, this gathering could reshape local leadership dynamics, offering a glimpse into Congress‘s strategy for Telangana’s upcoming polls.
Key Players Converge at Indira Bhavan
The afternoon session at the party’s new headquarters, Indira Bhavan, draws top Telangana figures alongside AICC brass. Revanth Reddy leads the delegation, joined by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, TPCC chief B. Mahesh Kumar Goud, and state in-charge Meenakshi Natarajan.
Irrigation Minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy rounds out the core group, bringing ministerial heft to the discussions. Observers note the electric atmosphere, as aspirants await word on their political futures.
This lineup reflects a blend of state power and central oversight, ensuring balanced voices in the room.
Grassroots Input Fuels Final Choices
AICC observers, including senior leaders like former Chief Minister N. Narayanaswamy and ex-Union Minister C.P. Joshi, fanned out across districts weeks ago. They gathered feedback from local workers, prioritizing diverse social segments to build inclusive slates.
Each district forwarded three names—up to six in select cases—highlighting candidates’ strengths and community ties. These reports, submitted by October 22, form the backbone of today’s deliberations.
The exercise underscores Congress’s bid to energize its base, turning varied opinions into a unified front.
Timeline for Rollout and Beyond
Expect the DCC list to drop in early November, paving the way for organizational revamps ahead of local body elections. The meeting may also touch on the Jubilee Hills bypoll, blending immediate tactics with long-term planning.
Party insiders whisper of fierce rivalries, with over 50 applicants per district in some spots, testing the high command’s arbitration skills.
As Revanth Reddy navigates these talks, Telangana’s Congress faithful watch closely, hoping for picks that rally rather than divide.
