Telangana BJP bagged just one seat in the last Assembly elections in 2018 when T. Raja Singh won from Goshamahal, it was only much later that he was joined by M. Raghunandan Rao and former minister Eatala Rajender through bypolls from Dubbak and Huzurabad constituencies, respectively, in the Assembly.
After Mr. Singh was suspended by the party in August last year following his controversial remarks against the minority community, other claimants made a bid to get the party ticket but the leadership lifted his suspension and renominated the two-time MLA at the nick of time. Reason is if there is any seat the party is pretty sure of coming up trumps, it is here.
Ever since he has been taking up door-to-door campaign in his constituency and got Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to canvas for him though other bigwigs were missing in action. “I am 200% sure of winning again. My campaign is based on the development done with civic works worth ₹500 crore taken up. There are still issues about roads, drinking water and storm water drains. I will fight with the government to get them done,” he said.
