Reddy expressed confidence that he would soon take up responsibilities at the state level. He asked supporters to look after constituency matters while he concentrates on broader political duties.

At the same time, he made it clear that if the promised ministerial position does not come through, he would aim for the Chief Minister’s post in the future. His remarks underline both his expectation of a Cabinet role and his larger political ambitions within the party.

“You gave your word, now stand by it. If not a minister, then let’s go straight to becoming Chief Minister," he said.

Reddy insisted the leadership should stand by its word regarding the ministerial berth, describing it as a matter of commitment rather than favour.
