BRS victory would have expedited SCB-GHMC merger, says Cantonment MLA

Had the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) party emerged victorious in the State Legislative Assembly elections, the merger of Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) with Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) would have been completed in under a year, said G. Lasya Nanditha, the newly-elected MLA from Secunderabad Cantonment Assembly constituency.

Giani Lasya Nanditha, a first-time MLA, won the Secunderabad Cantonment Assembly constituency seat with an impressive margin of over 17,000 votes. Beyond being a personal triumph, her victory signifies a commitment to uphold the legacy of her late father, G Sayanna, a five-time MLA from the same constituency.

The road to this political milestone was not without its challenges. Before assuming the role of a Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Ms. Lasya experienced defeat as a board member candidate in the 2015 Secunderabad Cantonment Board (SCB) elections from the fourth ward picket. Undeterred, she aligned herself with the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
