Telangana CM Revanth calls for global unity to protect democracy & uphold constitutional values

Hyderabad, Nov 14 (UNI) Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday called upon democratic forces across the world to unite in protecting constitutional values, voting rights and social justice, saying that people in different countries were facing similar challenges.
Addressing the valedictory session of the Second Bharat Summit 2026 at the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), he said the State had invited more than 1,000 delegates from 70 countries, though some could not attend.
He expressed confidence that the summit's message would reach people across the globe.
Referring to the birth anniversary of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Revanth Reddy recalled his vision and contribution to strengthening constitutional democracy in India.
He said two opposing forces were emerging globally—one committed to democracy, the Constitution and the rule of law, and the other seeking to weaken democratic institutions and impose authoritarian rule.
He said democratic forces stood for equal voting rights, environmental protection, social justice and the welfare of women, minorities and farmers, while their opponents sought to concentrate power and protect the interests of a few wealthy individuals.
He stressed the need for a level playing field, debate and discussion in democratic societies.
The Chief Minister said countries across the world were facing common challenges, including attacks on fundamental rights, concerns over education and employment, inadequate healthcare and rising inflation. Millions of people were looking towards their leaders to understand their aspirations, listen to their concerns and fulfil their dreams, he added.
Revanth Reddy said democratic forces could achieve change only by working together.
He described Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi as leading the fight for voting rights and social justice for backward classes, minorities and weaker sections, and called upon delegates to support his efforts.
He asserted that governments should work for ordinary people rather than the wealthy and urged representatives from the participating countries to carry the message of the summit across the world.
“Come, let us all fight together for this global cause,” he said, calling for collective efforts to protect democratic values and the country.
