Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy participated in the 19th edition of the Alai Balai programme, a cultural event held annually during the Dasara festival, organized by veteran politician and Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya. The event, which promotes Telangana’s rich cultural heritage, took place on Sunday and saw leaders from various political parties coming together to celebrate the region’s traditions.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Minister highlighted the importance of preserving Telangana’s cultural roots and expressed his appreciation for Dattatreya’s continuous efforts to revive the state’s customs. Alai Balai, an initiative started by Dattatreya nearly two decades ago, has become a symbol of unity and cultural pride in the state, transcending political affiliations.
Chief Minister Reddy noted that Alai Balai played a crucial role in inspiring the formation of the Telangana Political Joint Action Committee (JAC), which pushed for the creation of a separate Telangana state. The programme was instrumental in raising awareness about the importance of safeguarding Telangana’s identity during the prolonged fight for statehood.

He further expressed hope that Bandaru Vijayalakshmi, Dattatreya’s daughter, would continue to uphold the legacy of Alai Balai and carry forward the mission of cultural preservation.
Several prominent leaders from across party lines attended the event, reinforcing the message of unity and cultural celebration. Alai Balai remains a vital platform for promoting Telangana’s rich heritage and fostering a spirit of inclusiveness during one of the region’s most significant festivals.
Dasara, celebrated with fervor across Telangana, was marked by this show of political harmony, as leaders reiterated their commitment to preserving the culture that binds the state together.
