"I will win...”: BJP candidate from Kamareddy

Coming up against the chiefs of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee President (TPCC), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader K Venkata Ramana Reddy on Thursday exuded confidence that he is going to win from Kamareddy Assembly Constituency.
BJP's Venkata Ramana Reddy, Congress' Revanth Reddy and BRS' K Chandrasekhar Rao are key candidates contesting from the Kamareddy constituency in the 2023 Telangana Assembly elections.
"I am only looking at them (CM KCR and Revanth Reddy) as TRS and Congress candidates only. They are big people but I am not going to back off from fearing them. A candidate is a candidate in my eyes... KCR was nothing 40 years ago, he became a CM over the journey of years... They became big leaders because their time was right. They should not be considered as geniuses. I am 101 per cent sure I will win," Venkata Ramana Reddy said.
