"People are keen to vote for development": Cong MLA Yennam Srinivas Reddy on Municipal elections

Congress MLA Yennam Srinivas Reddy says voters are keen to vote for development, citing Rs 2,000 crore in projects for Mahbubnagar's infrastructure.

"People are keen to vote for development, and they are fully aware that the state government is making extra efforts - Yennam Srinivas Reddy"

Mahbubnagar, February 12

Congress MLA Yennam Srinivas Reddy on Wednesday said that people in Mahbubnagar are showing keen interest in the ongoing municipal elections and are inclined to vote for development, citing infrastructure growth and welfare initiatives undertaken in the past two years.

Speaking to ANI after casting his vote, Reddy said that this is the first time municipal elections are being held in Mahbubnagar and that voters are enthusiastic about participating in the democratic process.

"People are showing interest. They are keen to vote for development, and they are fully aware that the state government is making extra efforts to pump money for the development of infrastructure in Mahbubnagar," he said.

The Congress leader stated that projects worth Rs 2,000 crore have been sanctioned and grounded in the last two years. He said colonies and parks have been developed, water supply schemes strengthened, and special attention has been given to cleanliness, garbage lifting and clearing of dump yards.

"All-round development of Mahbubnagar was possible in these two years. In another three years the state government will be there, and I will be the MLA of this town, so people are keen to have more development. They want to get more funds from our Hon'ble Chief Minister, who belongs to this native district. People are very positive about voting for Congress," Reddy said.

He said he cast his vote at around 10:30 am and appealed to voters to exercise their franchise.

"I have gone and cast my vote at 10:30. I am appealing to all the voters of Mahbubnagar and Telangana. This vote does not change the state government, does not change the central government. This vote is basically to change your lives," he added.

Polling began on February 11, and counting of votes is scheduled for February 13 for the Municipal election in the state.

Elections are underway in seven Municipal Corporations and 116 Municipalities across the state, covering 414 wards in the Corporations of Kothagudem, Karimnagar, Mahabubnagar, Mancherial, Nizamabad, Nalgonda and Ramagundam, and 2,582 wards in the 116 municipalities.

It's good to see enthusiasm for municipal polls. Local governance impacts us directly. But I hope this isn't just pre-election talk. We've heard "2000 crore" figures before. Show us the detailed breakdown and actual work completion status.

Development should be the only agenda, not caste or religion. If the current MLA and corporation have worked on garbage lifting and water supply, they deserve another chance. Let's vote for progress, not empty promises.

As a resident, I have noticed some improvement in park maintenance. But the core issues of traffic congestion and irregular water supply in my colony remain. Hope the elected councilors focus on these basic amenities.

Interesting to see the focus on hyper-local development. In many countries, municipal elections have low turnout. If people in Mahbubnagar are truly voting based on tangible work like garbage clearance, that's a very positive sign for grassroots democracy.

"This vote is basically to change your lives" – well said! Corporation councillors are the ones we call when drains are blocked. Hope people choose capable candidates, not just party symbols. Jai Hind!
