BJP national vice president and former minister D K Aruna, who has won from Mahabubnagar Lok Sabha constituency, the home turf of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has demanded his resignation owing to moral responsibility. She recalled that Revanth was incharge of the constituency for the Congress party and he has moved all his resources there to defeat her.
In a tight cornered contest, she has defeated Congress candidate Vamshi Charan Reddy, close associate of Revanth Reddy by a majority of 4,500 votes. Incidentally, soon after Congress candidate in MLC elections from local bodies constituency of Mahaboobnagar district, its Lok Sabha candidate was also defeated reflecting losing grip of Revanth Reddy in his home district.
Aruna recalled that Revanth Reddy has repeatedly claimed that these Lok Sabha polls are a referendum to his six-month old government in Telangana and claimed to win 14 out of 17 seats. But Congress was confined to 8 seats, where BJP also could win 8 seats.
Referring to Congress leaders demand that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should resign owing moral responsibility for BJP failing in getting absolute majority in Lok Sabha, Aruna asked whether they also demand resignation of Revanth Reddy for his failure in getting the party to win majority seats in Telangana?
She recalled that Revanth Reddy has threatened Palamuru voters that if they failed Congress candidate development of the district will come to halt and Chief Minister has intensively campaigned as if he was the candidate. She made it clear that it is a clear verdict against Revanth Reddy’s six month governance.
Moreover, she alleged that some Congress leaders even from Karnataka go around the constituency distributing money to lure voters. She advised Revanth Reddy that he should realize the need to have cordial relations with the Center for the development of the state. She asserted that the Narendra Modi government is always ready to extend cooperation for the development of all the regions, irrespective of the party in power in each state.
But this victory is a big win for the BJP candidate as it is not an easy task for her to evoke the voter’s response particularly from the rural areas and DK Aruna could do it. She has achieved the fruit of her success in taking the BJP party into the rural areas of Palamuru region.
