Hyderabad: TRS/BRS working president KT Rama Rao had lunch at a Fluorosis victim Amshala Swamy’s house in Munugode’s Sivannagudam on Thursday.
“In the much maligned field of politics, there are few occasions when the heart is
Swamy, a fluorosis victim invited me for lunch. Was happy that a Dignity House & Livelihood has been provided to his family More importantly, fluorosis is gone now thanks to Mission Bhagiratha,” he tweeted.
KTR on Thursday promised to adopt Munugode constituency and take “complete responsibility” for its development if the party’s candidate K Prabhakar Reddy wins the upcoming bypoll on November 3.
KTR’s promise to the voters came during an election rally held at Chandur village in the constituency. He was accompanied by members of the Communist Party of India (CPI), which declared support to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in the run up to the by-poll.
The seat was vacated after ex-Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy quit the grand old party recently and joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Interestingly, his brother Rajgopal Venkat Reddy is still a Congress member of Parliament. The Munugode seat by-poll is more or less considered to be a semi-final to the 2023 Telangana state polls. The BJP is expecting to be the main contender this time.
“This untimely election has been rubbed onto the lives of Munugode’s voters due to the arrogance of a contractor. Has Rajagopal Reddy done any developmental activities in the last four years? Did he meet the district’s minister Jagadish Reddy for the sake of any village?” KTR asked, attacking the BJP’s by-poll candidate.
KTR on the occasion asked people to “look back” on the conditions 10 years ago in the region, and said that things have changed drastically for the better. “Nalgonda district was severely hit by the fluorosis challenge and consecutive prime ministers did not do anything about it. But chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao solved the problem,” he said.
