Metro India News | hyderabad : Telangana Rakshana Sena (TRS) President K. Kavitha on Wednesday made a strong appeal to graduates across Telangana to support and elect the party’s nominees in the upcoming Graduate MLC elections, stating that the polls offered an opportunity to bring about a change in the State’s political leadership.
Addressing a press conference at the party office in Banjara Hills alongside the party's candidates, Dr. Nalamasa Srikanth Goud and Akash Kolluri, Kavitha urged graduates to use the elections as an opportunity to question the ruling Congress government and the ineffective Opposition. She said educated voters should play an active role in strengthening democratic institutions and ensuring accountability among political representatives.
The TRS chief appealed to voters to elect Akash Kolluri from the Hyderabad–Rangareddy–Mahabubnagar Graduate constituency and Dr. Nalamasa Srikanth Goud from the Nalgonda–Khammam–Warangal constituency. She expressed confidence that graduates would recognise the need for fresh leadership and extend their support to the party's candidates.
Criticising the ruling government, Kavitha declared that the Congress had lost its political credibility and failed to live up to the expectations of people. She also questioned the role of the Opposition, alleging that it had not effectively raised issues concerning the public or held the government accountable.
Drawing an analogy to farmers replacing a blown fuse to restore power supply, she urged farmers, youth and graduates to support TRS candidates and help usher in a new generation of political leadership. She said the electorate should not allow established political parties to take graduates' support for granted.
Highlighting the profiles of the party's nominees, Kavitha described them as educated young leaders who had emerged from modest backgrounds and were entering politics without the backing of money power or political dynasties. She said their candidature represented an opportunity to encourage merit, commitment and public service in electoral politics.
Kavitha further appealed to every eligible graduate to register as a voter and exercise their franchise. She stressed that participation in the electoral process was essential to bring about meaningful political change and ensure that the concerns of educated youth and professionals received adequate representation in the Legislative Council.
