Revanth Reddy will visit Midjil on July 4 to thank the people who gave him his first electoral victory, as he completes 20 years in public life.

According to his close associates, Revanth Reddy has often spoken about the importance of remembering the people and places that shaped his political life. They say he considers Midjil the foundation of his public journey and wanted to return to personally thank those who first placed their trust in him. As part of the visit, the Chief Minister will offer prayers at the Urukonda temple and participate in the foundation-laying ceremony for its development works. He will later join his early associates, senior leaders and supporters for a lunch interaction recalling the early years of his political career. The programme also includes the unveiling of statues of former local leader Gopal Reddy and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar near Midjil. Revanth Reddy will conclude the visit by addressing a public meeting, where he is expected to express his gratitude to the people for their support over the last two decades. The Chief Minister is expected to describe the visit as a tribute to the people who gave him his first political opportunity, saying their blessings and confidence paved the way for his journey from a local public representative to the Chief Minister of Telangana.
