Dr. Veerapaneni Padma, a member of the National Mahila Morcha executive committee of the BJP, expressed her sadness about not receiving a ticket from the party. She was told that her name was on the list until the last minute, but it was changed without her knowledge. She believes that the decision-making process ignored certain social groups, causing disappointment among party members. She plans to consult with activists before deciding on the next steps.
In addition to Dr. Veerapaneni Padma, Juthuri Keerthi Reddy and Aalapati Lakshminarayana from Jubilee Hills are also competing for the ticket. They have organized party programs in an attempt to secure it.
Movie actress Jeevitha Rajasekhar also applied for the ticket, but she did not appear in the constituency. According to Dr. Veerapaneni Padma, the ticket has been contested by four people from the beginning and has now been given to Deepak Reddy, causing uncertainty among the other candidates’ followers.
