Congress leader Mallu Ravi will be contesting from the same constituency as Barrelakka, making her upcoming fight difficult as the Congress party is in power in Telangana.
Barrelakka, also known as Karne Sirisha, gained popularity overnight when she made a video about the issue of unemployment. This video helped her gain a large following on social media. After finishing her degree, she faced challenges in finding a job. Inspired by the success of her video, she decided to enter the assembly to address the problems faced by the people. She ran for the Kolhapur seat in the Telangana elections.
Barrelakka received significant support from many people and ran as an independent candidate. She also engaged in extensive publicity efforts. Although she lost in the Kolhapur seat, she garnered nearly 6,000 votes. However, her popularity increased significantly. She continued to make headlines during the elections and gained millions of followers on social media. Some even provided financial assistance, appreciating her courage.
Despite her defeat in the assembly elections, Barrelakka is now preparing for the parliamentary elections. Determined to be involved in politics, she plans to run as a Member of Parliament from Nagarkurnool this time. Barrelakka mentioned that she has learned from her experience in the assembly elections and hopes for a better outcome in the parliamentary elections. It remains to be seen what results she will achieve in the upcoming elections.
