A day after Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) and Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy went to the residence of Munugode MLA, Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy to review the Bhongir Parliament seat campaign preparations, Mr. Rajagopal Reddy joined the campaign in support of the party candidate Chamala Kiran Reddy.
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 Venkata Reddy are key for Congress success in the Bhongir constituency.
Launching the campaign in the Jangaon Assembly constituency, Mr. Rajagopal Reddy said the BJP candidate Boora Narsaiah Goud would be swept away in the Congress popularity. He also took potshots at Jangaon MLA from Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), Palla Rajeshwar Reddy accusing him of serving his boss K. Chandrashekhar Rao in his farmhouse rather than spending time in the constituency. Unlike the BJP and BRS candidates, Mr. Kiran Kumar Reddy was young having worked as All India Youth Congress vice president and would serve people to the best of his abilities. “Voting for Kiran is like voting for me,” he announced in the midst of thunderous applause.
