TRS candidate Koneru Konappa says he has improved connectivity, education and health sector in the constituency in the last four and half years. He exuded confidence that development and welfare schemes would easily help him register a victory in the elections. In an interview , he shared his advantages to succeed in the coming Assembly elections and his plans to better if elected again.
— You have begun campaign much earlier than your counterparts. How has been the response from the public?
I have already completed one round of electioneering in all villages and urban areas. The response has been encouraging. People are happy with the welfare schemes introduced by the TRS government and development witnessed in the past four years. They are upbeat over the partial manifesto announced by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao. They are confident that only Rao can strive hard to improve the State. They have reposed faith in me as well.
— What are the important development works in the constituency during your tenure
As many as 300 km of road network was laid as against 450 km of stretches required to provide connectivity to 30 habitations deprived of the basic facility from 2014 to 2018. Works on 31 bridges were taken up, improving connectivity to several villages. Similarly, inter-State bridge being erected across Pranahita between Gudem and Aheri of Maharashtra will be completed within two or three months. Besides transportation, the education sector was bettered with establishing eight residential schools. Bejjur primary centre was upgraded to a 30-bed hospital, while community health centre of Kaghaznagar town was converted into a 100-bed facility. Two new mandals, Chintalamanepalli and Penchikalpet, and Kaghaznagar revenue division were created for simplifying administration.
Also, 3,000 new electric connections were provided to farmers in the last four years as against 3,800 connections given in the past 60 years. Warehouses were built for five mandals for helping the agrarian community to store their grains. Two more warehouses would be constructed for the remaining two mandals soon.
— What was the satisfying moment for you in this term
Under the leadership of Chandrasekhar Rao and flawless determination and sincere efforts of IT and Industries Minister K T Rama Rao, we were able to revive the sick Sirpur Paper Mills (SPM). It is a landmark achievement. It will transform the lives of 10,000 people. Residents of the town and workers of the paper manufacturer expressed happiness and are blessing the government and party.
— What is your message to the people when you seek votes
I am confident that voters will re-elect me since the development can be seen by all. They can see the growth in the last four years. I have been always accessible to people of the constituency. I am ready to extend support to the public and solve problems anytime.
— What are your prospects of winning the elections this time
People are satisfied with the welfare schemes and development works undertaken. They are to ready to not only extend electoral support to me, but help TRS to win 100 of the 119 seats in Telangana. The party will certainly form the government. The party will rewrite history in Sirpur (T) constituency by clinching it for the second time.
— Which areas you are going to focus on if re-elected
I will focus on industrial growth for creating jobs to locals if elected again. I will try to secure another industry in place of Sirsilk factory which was shutdown. I will strive hard for the construction of a bridge across Wardha river between Gundaipet and Gond Pipri in Maharashtra with an estimated cost of Rs 50 crore and another bridge between Chedwai and Ainam.
