Revanth’s efforts work as Rajagopal joins campaign
A day after TPCC president and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy went to the residence of Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy to review the Bhongir campaign preparations, the latter joined the campaign in support of party candidate Chamala Kiran Reddy on Friday.
Mr. Rajagopal Reddy was apparently annoyed over the party high command denying ticket to his wife, Laxmi, who was also an aspirant.
However, the efforts of the Chief Minister to pacify him proved fruitful as Mr. Rajagopal Reddy along with his brother and R&B Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy are key for Congress success in Bhongir constituency.
Launching the campaign in the Jangaon Assembly constituency, Mr. Rajagopal Reddy said that the BJP candidate Boora Narsaiah Goud would be swept away in Congress party’s popularity.
He also took potshots at Jangaon MLA from BRS Palla Rajeshwar Reddy, accusing him of serving his boss K. Chandrasekhar Rao in his farmhouse rather than spending time in the constituency. Unlike BJP and BRS candidates, Mr. Kiran Reddy was young, worked as All India Youth Congress vicepresident and would serve people to the best of his abilities. “Voting for Kiran is like voting for me,” he announced in the midst of a thunderous applause.
Targeting former Chief
Minister KCR, he said people were not willing to forget the 10year ‘loot’ of KCR and his family in the name of Kaleshwaram project and Dharani portal.
Meanwhile, Minister Konda Surekha launched the campaign for the Medak Parliament seat with a huge rally in Pragnapur in the presence of TPCC working president T. Jagga Reddy, MP candidate Neelam Madhu and TSIIC chairperson Nirmala Jagga Reddy. She appealed to the voters to elect a BC leader and said that Congress was a party of all communities.
