Amid ongoing discussions on the metro rail project in the Old City of Hyderabad, Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy humorously offered the Deputy Chief Minister post to AIMIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi. He assured that the metro project would be completed before the next assembly elections. Reddy also offered Owaisi a seat in Kodangal if he contested on a Congress ticket, guaranteeing his victory and a Deputy CM position. Owaisi, however, laughed off the offer, affirming his loyalty to AIMIM. Reddy reiterated the State’s commitment to constructing a metro line from the Old City to the airport, even without Central support.
