Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy stressed that strengthening democracy was only imperative to solve the problems plaguing the world. Addressing a group of Indofile British Members of Parliament at the historic Westminster building on Thursday, he said the world was facing many challenges, including war, terrorism, violence, denial of rights, and assault on democracy.
“The problems are numerous but the answer is one – empowering people through democracy” Revanth Reddy said. Labour MP Virendra Sharma, representing Ealing, South Hall constituency hosted the meeting and seven other British MPs attended the watermark address.
Speaking of the historical relationship and bond between India and Britain, Revanth Reddy said “your country ruled India. My party, the Congress party, fought for Independence. Both our countries must repeatedly take message of Mahatma Gandhi, who showed us to fight for justice with truth and non-violence”
Sharing his experiences of becoming Telangana’s Chief Minister from being grassroot-level political leader, he said “I am a farmer’s son, born and brought up in rural India. Only because of democracy and the Congress party’s inclusive philosophy, I have this opportunity. We have to create opportunities for everyone, which is the real strength of democracy.”
