"BJP will work hard to bring double-engine govt in Telangana": Kishan Reddy after BJP bags two of three MLC seats

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 6 (ANI): Union Minister G Kishan Reddy on Thursday termed the results of Telangana Members of the Legislative Council (MLC) a success for the BJP. He added that the BJP will work hard to bring a "double-engine" government to the state.
"This is a success for the BJP and Telangana. The people of Telangana have created a path regarding how the politics of Telangana will look and how the BJP government will come to Telangana in the coming days," Kishan Reddy told ANI.
"The BJP will work hard and move forward on this path. Under the leadership of PM Modi, the BJP will work hard to bring a double-engine government to Telangana," he added.
Earlier, in a post on X, Reddy highlighted the BJP's success in winning two MLC seats, including one in the teachers' category.
"BJP secures two out of the three MLC seats, Karimnagar-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Medak (Graduate) and Medak-Karimnagar-Adilabad-Nizamabad (Teachers'), with a commanding margin. This triumph is a victory of our youth and teachers, who have decisively rejected Congress for its failed governance & failure to address their concerns," he said.
"Despite Congress fielding all its ministers, MLAs, MPs, and spending heavily, they could not retain the Karimnagar Graduate seat. This outcome sends a strong message to Congress, which came to power by making false promises to the people," Reddy added.
The Union Minister further mentioned that with elections spanning across 13 districts, 43 assemblies, six parliamentary segments and 270 mandals, the victory is significant and reflects the growing stronghold of the BJP in Telangana.
"I express my sincere gratitude to the people of Telangana especially the teachers and the youth for reposing their faith in the developmental politics of BJP and the leadership of PM Narendra Modi. A special acknowledgment to our hardworking karyakartas, the backbone of our party. Their unwavering dedication continues to strengthen BJP's presence and resolve in Telangana," Kishan Reddy said on X.
BJP's Malka Komaraiah emerged victorious from the Medak-Karimnagar-Adilabad-Nizamabad (Teachers) Constituency. Chinnamail Anji Reddy won the Karimnagar-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Medak (Graduate) Constituency.
Independent candidate Sripal Reddy Pingili has won the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Teachers' MLC elections.
The MLC elections were held on February 27 in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and the votes were counted on March 3.
On February 27, Telangana Chief Electoral Officer C. Sudharshan Reddy said that the voting percentage in the Nalgonda Teachers' constituency was 93.55 per cent. He added that there was overall a good turnout of voters, and no untoward incident was reported throughout the voting process. (ANI)
