"The implementation of welfare schemes for the poor had gathered momentum only after the Congress assumed power in the State. - Komatireddy Venkat Reddy"

Nalgonda, February 7

Declaring that the Nalgonda Municipal Corporation has remained a traditional bastion of the Congress, Roads and Buildings and Cinematography Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy on Saturday appealed to voters to deliver a historic verdict in the February 11 civic elections by electing Congress candidates with an overwhelming majority in all 48 divisions.

Campaigning across Divisions 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 25, the Minister Komatireddy said development works worth Rs 2,200 crore were underway in the municipal corporation and asserted that sustained growth was possible only if candidates of the ruling Congress party were elected. He said, "The implementation of welfare schemes for the poor had gathered momentum only after the Congress assumed power in the State."

Minister Komatireddy said issues faced by citizens would be taken up by Congress corporators and brought directly to his notice, assuring that problems of the poor would be treated as his own. "With support from Central and State government funds, the Nalgonda Municipal Corporation would be further strengthened and developed," he said.

Referring to initiatives undertaken through the Pratik Foundation, established in memory of his son, Minister Komatireddy said that the substantial funds had been spent on improving education and healthcare facilities in Nalgonda. He cited the construction of the Komatireddy Pratik Government School at Bottuguda, built at a cost of Rs 8.50 crore with infrastructure on par with corporate schools.

Expressing gratitude to the people for electing him five times as MLA and Minister, Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy said his goal was to transform Nalgonda into a "Super Smart City." He announced the adoption of Ward No 8 for focused development and assured completion of a CC road in Mamillagudem (Division 11) within three months. He also promised Indiramma houses for all eligible poor families owning plots within the municipal limits.

Warning that electing candidates of other parties would hamper development, Minister Komatireddy urged voters to support Congress candidates and vote for the hand symbol in the February 11 elections.

The road show and campaign witnessed the participation of senior Congress leaders, former public representatives, corporator candidates from various divisions, and party workers, with residents and party cadres extending a warm reception to the Minister's convoy across the localities.

Building a government school with corporate-level infrastructure is a fantastic initiative by the Pratik Foundation. This is the kind of development that truly benefits the common man. Education is the real key to progress.

Rs 2,200 crore worth of works is a huge claim. Voters need to ask for a detailed breakdown and completion timelines. We've heard big numbers before. Accountability is crucial.

The focus on a 'Super Smart City' is ambitious. But smart cities need smart basics first - consistent water supply, waste management, and good roads. Hope the CC road in Mamillagudem is just the start.

Interesting to see the local political dynamics. The warning that voting for others will hamper development is a classic political strategy. Hope the competition stays healthy and focused on issues.

Being elected five times is no small feat. The people of Nalgonda have shown faith. Now it's time to deliver a transformed city, not just before elections, but consistently.
