BRS aims to retain Adilabad, Nirmal, Kagaznagar municipalities

The BRS is determined to retain major municipalities such as Adilabad, Nirmal and Kagaznagar, once bastions of the Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

The party, which originated through a separate Statehood cause, emerged as a major force by securing the Adilabad municipality in elections held in 2019 and 2014 in a row, displaying its domination on the town.

This time, the party’s top leadership has prevented any internal turmoil by deploying troubleshooters and has ensured cadres maintained coordination among local leaders and strove hard for the victory of the BRS nominees in the municipal polls. It also took measures to bring the party into power again in the three civic bodies with instructions given to leaders to expose the failures of the Congress



government.

With an objective to continue the winning streak, local leaders of the party campaigned in support of the BRS nominees riding on unprecedented development witnessed during the regime of the BRS-government. They cited major challenges addressed by the previous government. They vowed to bolster infrastructure and resolve key problems if elected.

While addressing a poll rally, former minister Jogu Ramanna alleged that the Congress and BJP duped the public after being elected. He said that local MLA Payal Shankar of the BJP did not make efforts to establish an engineering college, an affiliate of JNTU-Hyderabad and a nursing college sanctioned by the BRS government in the past. Shankar, he alleged, failed to realise the long-pending dream of people of airport for Adilabad by showing negligence.
