My Constituency is a model...

The blessings of the voters of my constituency are my protective cover. Whether I represent a ward as a Corporator or an Assembly segment as a MLA, my stated aim is to make it a model constituency, an example for everyone else.

When I first represented the Vijayangara Ward, it was considered a backward area. I changed the entire image during my two terms as a Corporator. As a three-term MLA from Binnypet Assembly constituency, my developmental works earned the praise of all citizens.

Today, as the MLA of Govindarajnagar, I am able to implement works in three years that were not carried out for 30 years. My Constituency has a large number of middle class and poor people. Should not the children of these people get quality education? Can the family members of an auto rickshaw driver, a street hawker or a coolie afford expensive treatment in a private hospital? It is for this reason that I prioritised establishment of quality government schools, clinics, dialysis centers, labs, ambulances and hi-tech hospitals.

My constituency is famous for its hi-tech libraries. To prepare youngsters for better jobs, I have established four IAS coaching centres in the Constituency. Two Yoga centres, 16 badminton courts, gyms, 137 drinking water units and tailoring centres dot the Constituency.

The bus stands and police stations in our Constituency are sophisticated and we have hi-tech sports stadiums for leisure. There is no dearth of facilities in the entire Constituency.

During the Covid pandemic, thousands of food ration kits were distributed to the needy people across the Constituency. Masks and sanitisers were also distributed in large numbers. Ambulance for those in need and beds in hospitals for those requiring in-patient treatments were managed.

Even when I was a Corporator and now when I am a Minister, I attend to every problem of the citizens from my Constituency personally. I keep a tab on each and every work in my constituency to prevent delays. I procure the necessary sanctions and grants from the Chief Minister for my Constituency, even if it means I have to beg from him or quarrel with him. I try to implement any new scheme in my Constituency first. On several occasions earlier, even when the then Chief Ministers had dismissed my demands, I have stood my ground and never letdown the people of my Constituency.

This is the reason why the people of Govindarajnagar vote for me, ignoring the differences of caste, religion or class. In their books, I am just a good administrator.
