As the election drama unfolds in the Kamareddy constituency of Telangana, the contest reached a fever pitch with prominent figures like Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee Chief Revanth Reddy, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) vying for victory.
In the latest updates on the election results, the battle has taken an interesting turn. In the initial rounds, Congress' Revanth Reddy appeared to be leading, showcasing strong support from the voters. However, the dynamics shifted after BJP candidate K Venkata Ramana Reddy won the seat. The fierce competition in Kamareddy has drawn attention not only from local voters but also from political observers across the state.
Who is K Venkatramana Reddy?
K Venkata Ramana Reddy is a former zilla parishad chairman and the BJP fielded him in the undivided Nizamabad district's Kamareddy constituency, a bastion of Chief Minister KCR. According to his profile on MyNeta.info, he is a 12th-grade educated and has completed his Intermediate in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry from Govt Junior College in Kamareddy in 1985-1986. He declared his assets worth more than Rs 7 crore.
In an interview with The New Indian Express, he said that he did not consider KCR as his "formidable opponent".
"I am not facing him; he is facing me by contesting in the Kamareddy Assembly constituency. I don’t see him as a formidable opponent. I am contesting in a regular manner without feeling any pressure. The election is insignificant compared to my goals, and I am ready to sacrifice my property for the people," K Venkata Ramana Reddy said, adding that he did not consider KCR as a "big leader".
