Leaders of the Congress party in Yetapaka and Bhadrachalam thanked the Chief Ministers and Deputy Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for agreeing to move five village panchayats back to Telangana. These villages had been mistakenly included in Andhra Pradesh during the state’s division.
The efforts of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, and Minister Tummala Nageswara Rao, who started the process with a formal letter, were crucial in this decision. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan also supported the move, showing respect for the wishes of the villagers.
Special recognition was given to former Bhadrachalam MLA Podem Veerayya, who has been advocating for the villagers for six years, both inside and outside the legislative assembly. Various leaders from the ASR District Congress Party and other organizations were present at the event to show their support.
Women leaders from the Congress Party, including former Bhadrachalam MPP Shantamma and District Women Secretary Pandala Sarita, also attended the event along with key activists.
