Terming the brief lull in his political career after his defeat in the last Assembly elections in 2023 as Agnatwas, BJP leader and former Minister B. Sriramulu said that his selection as BJP candidate for Ballari segment for the Lok Sabha elections will be a new phase in his political career.
Addressing a media conference on Thursday, a day after his party announced his candidature, Mr. Sriramulu exuded the confidence of him winning the seat for the BJP.
“My selection as BJP candidate in Ballari is a freedom from the Agnatwas that I was in after my defeat in the 2023 Assembly elections. The former Lok Sabha member from Ballari Basavarajeshwari made me a member of the Ballari City Municipal Council when I was nothing. Since then, I have been working for the welfare of the people. I will win Ballari seat this time and join hands with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his mission to build a stronger India,” he said.
