I thank the people of erstwhile combined Nalgonda district who have for the first time in history elected all 12 MLAs from the same party🙏
Delighted & grateful that Nalgonda has put faith in TRS leadership giving us back to back victories in all 3 By-Polls held in last 3 years

The bypoll was necessitated by the resignation of Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy from his post and the party. He joined the BJP and sought re-election in the bypoll.
