A comparison is being drawn between the new Chief Minister of Telangana, Revanth Reddy, and his Andhra Pradesh counterpart, Jagan Mohan Reddy, in terms of their governance styles. While both leaders have demonstrated their capabilities and effectiveness in administration, there is a significant difference in their attitudes towards opposition parties.

However, Revanth faces the challenge of uniting and satisfying the demands of long-standing senior members of the Telangana Congress.
Netizens have expressed mixed opinions on the appointment of Revanth Reddy as the Chief Minister of Telangana, comparing him to Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Some believe that Revanth will rule similarly to Jagan, while others have concerns about his leadership style and potential influence from Chandrababu, his political mentor. The dominance of Reddy Chief Ministers in both Telugu states is seen as a historic moment, with some highlighting the significance of the Reddy population in Telangana. Overall, opinions are divided, and the true assessment of Revanth's rule will only be known after a few months.
