Speaking to reporters here on Wednesday, Kamalakar said being a Parliament member, Sanjay Kumar should have maintained decorum. Instead of doing so, the MP violated the election model code. Visuals of Sanjay Kumar distributing the amount among the voters were also recorded in CCTV cameras, he said.

Besides making false allegations on ruling party workers, MP attacked the houses of BRS workers and thrashed them, he said, asking why did Sanjay Kumar not lodge a complaint with the police if he came to know about the distribution of money by BRS workers.

Expressing confidence of being re-elected as the legislator from Karimnagar for the fourth consecutive term with a thumping majority, he said the BRS would form the government for a third term.
