Rathod also noted that initiatives like Kalyana Lakshmi and residential schools for tribal students have successfully tackled the issue of girl child trafficking in the Devarakonda area. Furthermore, she pointed out the transformation of numerous thandas into grama panchayats under the BRS government, accompanied by improved road connectivity statewide.

She criticized the Congress party’s promises ahead of the next elections, specifically their pledge to raise Aasara pensions to Rs. 4,000.
