Addressing a gathering Ajay Kumar asked the public and BRS cadre in the Khammam Assembly constituency to see that Khammam would remain in safe hands by supporting the party in the next elections. He wanted voters to elect him as MLA for the third time and asserted that BRS would form the government in the next elections and K Chandrashekhar Rao would become the Chief Minister for the third time in a row.

The Minister also wanted the BRS cadre to work hard at the field level as soldiers for the next three months to ensure the party would win 10 out of 10 Assembly seats in the general elections in erstwhile Khammam district. There was a historic necessity for the party to win the next elections, he said.

Calling the Chief Minister’s decision to merge the TSRTC with the government a historic one, he said the move would ensure job security to the corporation employees, who would be treated on par with government employees. Referring to the RCC retaining wall along Munneru course in Khammam, he said a primary DPR was prepared and would soon be approved in the Cabinet. Rs 180 crore was already sanctioned for the construction of a cable bridge across the river, he said.
