Karimnagar Lok Sabha: Karimnagar is a district that was at the forefront of the Telangana movement. This is the constituency which touched the heart of Kalvakuntla Chandrasekhar Rao who led the movement. Velamala Kota has given maximum victories to Congress party seven times, BRS four times and BJP three times. In the last three elections, each of them has won.
Tough fight..
Experts say that a tough fight is certain in Karimnagar this time. Even though it did not get votes and seats in the assembly elections, BJP won the Lok Sabha elections last year. The same is expected to be repeated this time too. BRS hopes to take revenge for the previous defeat. And Congress is trying for glory. Four of the seven constituencies in the Lok Sabha are in the Congress's account. However, the victory does not seem to slow down.
Three way fight..
While sitting MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar is once again contesting from BJP, Velichala Rajender Rao, who previously contested on behalf of Prajarajyam and lost, is contesting from Congress this time. Vinod Kumar contested from BRS in the last three elections. Once succeeded. Trying your luck again.
If you win.. the post of Union Minister!
BJP, which is looking to strengthen its grip in the south, is eyeing double-digit seats in Telangana. In this sequence, it is specially focused on winning Karimnagar for the second time in a row. Bandi Sanjay also believes that if Bandi Sanjay wins this time, the post of Union Minister will be assured as he holds the position of National General Secretary of the party. To this extent, he is also campaigning with his followers. Modi has already completed the campaign twice in seven constituencies with guarantees. As an MP, he printed booklets on the funds granted by the Center and the schemes being implemented and distributed them from house to house. Flexi were arranged in the villages. Prime Minister Modi was brought to Vemulawada together and held a meeting to fill the cadre with enthusiasm.
'Velichala' own vision..
Along with the six guarantees announced by the Congress during the assembly elections, Rajender Rao released 23 guarantees of his own under the name of 'Velichala Vision' in the name of 'Kohinoor Karimnagar'. 23 guarantees like 'Karimnagar Sahayak App', coaching for students for competitive exams, mega job fairs, free health checkups, mass marriages, free driving schools were announced to solve the problems. It has been announced that free JPBs, tractors, mowers, drones, tankers and road rollers will be given to every constituency. Even if the candidature is finalized at the last minute, they are tirelessly campaigning in a way that utilizes the available time. Rajender Rao is the son of Jagapathi Rao who is recognized as a prominent public representative in the joint Karimnagar district. Jagapati Rao won from Jagityala in 1972 and Karimnagar in 1989 and pioneered many reforms. Rajender Rao is confident that his father Jagapathi Rao's good name, party strength and his own guarantee will win him over.
The struggling BRS..
Karimnagar is one of the two seats in Telangana where BRS is hoping to win. BRS has won from here four times in the past. BRS won the assembly elections in Huzurabad, Karimnagar and Sirisilla under the Karimnagar parliamentary constituency. The party leaders feel that this will suit them and improve the chances of Vinod Kumar winning as the leader brought by Smart City. KTR and KCR also campaigned for Vinod's victory. However, there is a tension in the leaders that the opposition to BRS will be born and drowned.
