Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who held the Malkajgiri Parliament seat till he became the Chief Minister, asked party leaders to consider him as the candidate and work irrespective of who would be chosen by the party high command.
“Work as if I am the candidate to see that the Congress flag flies high. I assure you that Malkajgiri will turn into a role model constituency in the country,” he told a gathering consisting of senior leaders like TPCC campaign committee chairman Madhu Yaskhi Goud, former MLA Hanumanth Rao and contested candidates in the Assembly elections on Thursday. He said that the constituency gave him a new identity in New Delhi that opened the gates for becoming the Chief Minister.
He reminded that the party had no chance of winning the seat in 2019 when he first came to the constituency at the last moment but people showered love on him and the Congress to send him to Parliament. Given his track record and contribution to the constituency apart from Congress being in the government now the party should win the seat, he said.
