In this election, the people of Hyderabad blessed us with 48 seats and their confidence in the BJP. We lost by a small margin in many places. If the Election Commission acted impartially, we would have won another 20 seats."
"We will fight more and gain the confidence of people of Hyderabad, It is to bring BJP to power in 2023," he said.
