Telangana renames university after freedom fighter Suravaram Reddy

Telangana's Potti Sreeramulu Telugu University has been renamed Suravaram Pratapa Reddy University. The Legislative Assembly passed the bill on March 17, 2025, honoring the freedom fighter and writer. Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy announced that the Cherlapally railway terminal will be named after Potti Sreeramulu. He also stated that a nature cure hospital will be named after former Chief Minister K. Rosaiah. The Bharatiya Janata Party criticized the name change and suggested renaming Osmania University instead. The Chief Minister defended the decision, citing administrative issues with similar university names in neighboring states.
