Krishnaiah said BCs, SCs and STs have a responsibility of ensuring winning of Bhagath in the by-elections and exhibit their political strength. He was confident that Bhagath would win in the by-elections with a huge majority of the votes. “Nagarjuna Sagar was a historic place as Acharya Nagarjunudu resided there. We should create another history at Nagarjuna Sagar by bringing victory to Bhagath in the by-elections. If we ensure the winning of Bhagath, it would give signals to political parties that BCs would present victory to their leader in case opportunity was provided to them in the elections,” he said.

The voters of Nagarjuna Sagar Assembly constituency should cast their vote to Bhagath in the by-elections irrespective of the politics, he asked. He termed by-elections to Nagarjuna Sagar constituency as a fight for self respect of the BCs. He pointed out that the TRS  government has also taken up several schemes for the benefit of BC castes in the last seven years of its regime.
