Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced that the Telangana government will rename Telugu University, following the precedent of renaming other universities after prominent figures like Prof. Jayashankar, Konda Laxman Bapuji, and P.V. Narasimha Rao.

"Since the formation of Telangana, we have been renaming universities to honour significant leaders," stated the Chief Minister.
He clarified that the decision to rename Telugu University, currently named after Potti Sreeramulu, is not intended to oppose anyone. "The Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University continues to operate in Andhra Pradesh under its existing name," he emphasised.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy announced the state government will propose naming the Charlapally railway terminal after Potti Sreeramulu.

The Chief Minister addressed the Assembly regarding the introduction of bills, and explained the rationale behind recent university name changes in Telangana. He stated that having universities with identical names in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh creates administrative complications. "To resolve these issues, we have renamed several universities in Telangana," he said, before adding that the government would now seek to name the Charlapally terminal after Potti Sreeramulu.
