Statement of Telangana Chief Minister Shri A. Revanth Reddy in New Delhi, October 7, 2026
(Telugu media byte translation)
They are trying to remove the voting rights of people. In the country, they are creating two types of people, one with voting rights and those without.
The SIR is happening under the instructions of PM Modi, through Gyanesh Kumar. Rahul Gandhi ji has demanded that Gyanesh Kumar resign. Instead of arresting the people who is committing the mistake, they have arrested Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge ji. Narendra Modi is trying to murder democracy. This movement will not end here.
Once, it was the Simon Go Back movement, which led to freedom of India. Today, Gyanesh Kumar's resignation will lead to Narendra Modi exiting the Prime Minister's chair.
PM Modi must ensure Gyanesh Kumar resigns, this is the Congress' demand.
Looking at the police action against Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, we can see the intolerance of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah. Today, to escape the consequences of their mistakes, to save their posts, they are getting police to attack Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi and other leaders.
The people are observing everything. Everyone in history who's done this has had to pay the price. They will all be punished in the people's court. Instead of being disgraced and brought down, they can save some honour by listening to the opposition and get Gyanesh Kumar to resign.
Earlier, they would use ED and CBI for their political reasons, today they are directly using the Election Commission. The Constitution gave people the right to vote, no one can snatch it away. Today, by removing people's votes to help themselves, and we are correcting this conspiracy.
Hindi sound bytes translation:
To secure the resignation of Gyanesh Kumar ji, the fight continues from the streets to Parliament. Every day they detain Rahul ji and set the police on him. Every day this government tries to attack, and that is not right at all. We are not going to let this go.
The BJP and Modi ji were using the ED, Income Tax and the CBI to win elections. When even that could no longer win them elections, they began using this instead, day after day. That is why the Congress party says: "Simon, go back" was the movement a hundred years ago.
Today a "GK, SIR, go back" movement is running in this country. Back then, Bhagat Singh fought until this country won its freedom. The "Simon, go back" movement brought the country independence. Today it is "SIR, go back" and "GK, go back".
Modi ji was just as stubborn before. The people won, he then withdrew the laws, and he had to apologise as well. However stubborn Modi ji is today, Gyanesh Kumar's resignation will have to be taken, and an apology will have to be given too.
If Gyanesh Kumar ji does not resign and things go further, the Prime Minister will have to resign. So this movement is not going to stop here. It will go from the streets to Parliament, to save the Constitution, which is what the INDIA alliance is trying to do.
We have come out on the streets to save the Constitution.
But this government has gone deaf and blind, and is not willing to listen.
So the entire public has come out on the streets. This is the people's movement. It is not the Congress's movement; it is the INDIA alliance's movement. When the people raise their voice, the government will have to listen. If it does not, the government will not survive.
We are Congress party workers... we work as per the party's orders... we will all go forward together. Thank you.
