Hyderabad: Promising better safety and security to the electorate in Amberpet Assembly constituency, the Bharatiya Janata Party’s lone legislator in the State, G. Kishen Reddy, filed his nomination papers on Monday.

“Bathukamma”

Earlier, Mr. Reddy’s wife, Kavya, joined the party’s women activists to celebrate “Bathukamma” festival at the Mahankali temple.

Expresses confidence

Interacting with residents, Mr. Reddy claimed that though the Congress was ruling the State, Amberpet constituency, which was carved out from Himyathnagar constituency, saw more development during his tenure.

“Keeping in view the developmental works taken up, I am sure the residents will elect me again with more majority,” he said while speaking to mediapersons.

Criticises Congress

Accusing the ruling Congress of playing ‘vote bank politics’, he criticised the fielding of Minister Mohd. Fareeduddin against him. “It’s sad that a 130-year-old party is still dependent on minority votes,” said Mr. Reddy.

BJP State president B. Dattatreya, who accompanied Mr. Reddy, said the party’s manifesto theme was “Surakshita Andhra Pradesh”. He called upon the people to vote for BJP to ensure right to life, food, water, health, education, safety and security.
