Two time Minister in Congress governments and now national BJP national vice-president D. K. Aruna is only one of the two women fielded by the saffron party in Telangana and is trying to win the Mahabubnagar Lok Sabha constituency after having lost last time from the same place. In this interview, she explains why people will choose her this time.
Everyone knows this election is about the nation and the vision for its development so they have a fair idea of who should be in the government at the Centre. People are looking up to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, even those who had voted for other parties in Assembly elections. There is a lot of opposition to the Congress government as they feel it has cheated in not fulfilling the promised guarantees and the free bus scheme is beset with reduced number of vehicles. On the other hand, the Modi government has a proven record of giving free foodgrains, loans for street vendors, financial assistance to farmers, free vaccines during Covid, respect for women in constructing toilets, etc. About four lakh people had benefited in this constituency from such schemes.
