Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced ₹309 crore for the development of Kalwakurthy Assembly constituency.
The announcement was made during a public meeting held to mark the death anniversary of former Union Minister S. Jaipal Reddy at Kalwakurthy on Sunday.

Reorganisation Act,” he recalled.

Additionally, ₹7.75 crore has been allocated for underground drainage in Madgul.
Following the announcements, the Chief Minister unveiled a life-size statue of Jaipal Reddy at Kotra Circle, located on the Srisailam Highway.
