In the recent Assembly polls, MLA Madhavaram Krishna Rao won for the third time in the Kukatpally constituency, with a majority of over 70,000 votes. This was considered a hat-trick victory for him, as his party lost majority of the seats across Telangana and Congress came to power.
Krishna Rao, a seasoned politician, was groomed in the TDP and admires the yesteryears’ superstar and founder of Telugu Desam party N T Rama Rao. He credits NTR for developing the locality and the Kukatpally Housing Board which has given the opportunity for scores of people to settle down and live in the area for decades.
In 2014, Krishna Rao won for the first time on a TDP ticket, with a margin of 43.3% votes. In 2018, he contested on a TRS (now BRS) ticket and received more than 1,11,000 votes, beating his nearest rival TDP’s Nandamuri Venkata Suhasini.
The three-time MLA is confident in understanding his constituents and their problems, and is proud of his achievements for the constituency, such as getting a women’s exclusive three-acre park, developing lakes, and providing other amenities. He promises to bring further development and resolve civic issues like traffic congestion in the constituency which includes divisions like Allapur, Balanagar, Moosapet, Fateh Nagar, Bowenpally, part of Begumpet, Balaji nagar, besides KPHB and Kukatpally.
