‘Vote and question’: KTR tells gated community residents in Jubilee Hills constituency
BRS working president KT Rama Rao has called on voters in Jubilee Hills to turn out in large numbers on November 11, warning that low participation could enable the Congress to engage in electoral malpractice. He also encouraged voters to share photos of their inked fingers to inspire civic participation.
Hyderabad: Warning that voter apathy could help the Congress resort to electoral malpractice and win the Jubilee Hills bypoll, BRS working president KT Rama Rao made a strong appeal to citizens to come out and vote in large numbers on November 11. People who do not cast their vote would lose their moral right to question the government, he said.
“Even if one of you skips voting, the Congress will take advantage and indulge in vote fraud. They are trying to buy votes with money after failing to deliver a single promise in two years,” he cautioned, urging voters to post pictures of their inked fingers.
Citing a decade of transformative progress under the BRS government during interactions with residents of Sattva and Aditya Empress gated communities at Shaikpet on Sunday, Rama Rao urged them to vote for BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha and teach the Congress government a lesson.
“In ten years, we transformed Hyderabad and ensured inclusive growth. We gave 24-hour power to agriculture and industry, built 42 flyovers, developed a 70-km metro and made the city nearly signal-free,” he said.
The BRS working president pointed out that Telangana’s per capita income rose to Rs 3.87 lakh under the BRS regime, with six lakh new IT jobs created, surpassing even Bengaluru’s growth.
Recalling the BRS government’s welfare and infrastructure measures, he listed welfare and infrastructure achievements, including 24-hour power supply, Rythu Bandhu investment support for farmers and welfare schemes like Kalyana Lakshmi and Shaadi Mubarak which uplifted lakhs of families.
“If you ask Google or ChatGPT about the world’s largest lift irrigation project, they will say Kaleshwaram. If you ask about the world’s largest innovation campus, they will say T-Hub. Both belong to Telangana, which also houses the largest campuses of Amazon and Google among others outside the US,” he said, and urged citizens to post pictures in their gated community WhatsApp groups after voting
Accompanied by former Minister Vemula Prashanth Reddy and other senior leaders, he appealed to them to vote for BRS nominee Maganti Sunitha, widow of the late MLA Maganti Gopinath.
“Vote, post your photo, and claim your right to question,” he told residents, amid cheers from the crowd.
