HYDERABAD: TRS MP Kalvakuntla Kavitha exuded confidence that ‘settlers’ from Andhra Pradesh would vote for TRS in the Assembly elections. The MP said that even though TDP is fielding Nandamuri Harikrishna’s daughter Nandamuri Suhasini from Kukatpally Assembly segment, the people will choose TRS.
In an informal chat with media persons on Friday, KaTRSvitha said that the TDP had already disappeared from Telangana and there was no use even if the candidate was from the Nandamuri family. She said that the Congress too was showing new-found love towards ‘settlers’, making J Kusum Kumar the PCC working president. She said that there were reports that even former MP Renuka Chowdary would resign as she was unhappy with the party’s attitude towards people from the Kamma community, in Congress’ ticket allotment exercise.
Kavitha wondered about Congress’ rule of ‘one family - one ticket’. “Why is Padmavathi Reddy, wife of PCC president N Uttam Kumar Reddy, being fielded from Kodad Assembly seat. She should withdraw her candidature,” the TRS MP demanded.
