The Chief minister urged the newly appointed DSPs not to forget the purpose of joining the police force.

The direction in which the future of Telangana will move over the next thirty years lies in the police hands.

Revanth Reddy underscored the need for the police to be first to react when people face a problem. “People trust the police force because the cops have dedicated everything to maintaining law and order.

The police force has earned its standing in society because many senior officers have worked with absolute integrity. You must uphold that legacy,” he added.

The Chief Minister slammed Opposition party for creating hurdles in the recruitment of the DSPs. Some forces deliberately leveled numerous allegations against these recruitments including crores of rupees corruption. The state government took the matter of the DSP appointments to the Supreme Court by engaging highly skilled legal counsel and successfully secured the appointments, he explained.

The Chief Minister held the previous BRS government responsible for not conducting Group 1 exams. The TGPSC had effectively turned into a hub for the 'political rehabilitation' of certain individuals during the BRS rule, the CM charged. The Congress government selected individuals with experience in conducting competitive examinations and those with integrity to serve as board members, he claimed.
