TPCC Chief Revanth Reddy files nomination from Kodangal, BJP's Bandi Sanjay from Karimnagar. Reddy requests voters to elect him by a huge margin, promises development such as jobs, education, irrigation water. Bandi Sanjay urges voters to back BJP.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president A. Revanth Reddy filed his nomination from Kodangal Assembly constituency on Monday. Besides Kodangal, he is taking on Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) chief and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao from Kamareddy constituency. BJP National General Secretary and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay too filed his papers from Karimnagar Assembly seat.
Nominations for the Telangana Assembly elections began on November 3. The polls will be held on November 30.
Addressing a huge gathering prior to nomination filing, Mr. Reddy spoke about the issues in Kodangal, assured of development such as jobs, education facilities, irrigation water and other resources. The TPCC president requested voters to elect him by a huge margin.
“All of you have the responsibility to bring the Congress to power in the state,” Mr. Reddy said adding that CM KCR has not fulfilled a single promise made to Kodangal.
“Why is Kodangal discriminated? Are the funds only for Sircilla, Siddipet and Gajwel,” he questioned. The TPCC chief threw a challenge to KCR to contest from Kodangal to prove his popularity among the electorate.
“This election will bring change in the lives of people of Kodangal,” the TPCC chief said, adding that all voters should come together and pass a unanimous resolution to back the Congress.
He said the people of Kodangal should give him a majority bigger than that secured by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K.Shiva Kumar. He said once the Congress forms the Government in Telangana, he would strive to complete Mahabubnagar-Chincholi national highway and start a Government Degree College for women in Kodangal. Mr. Revanth arrived in a helicopter and proceeded in an impressive election rally to the Returning Officer’s office to file his nomination. In the 2018 State Assembly Elections, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) candidate Patnam Narender Reddy won over Mr. Reddy in the Kodangal Assembly constituency. Later, the TPCC chief won from Malkajgiri in the Lok Sabha Elections-2019.
