“circumventing all the criteria including the Udaipur declaration, Malreddy Rangareddy was nominated. All the surveys indicated that I was on the top of the list, but he who lost all three consecutive elections and betrayed the party (by joining BSP) was chosen. If the criteria of age is also taken into consideration I am 43 and he is aged 73, exclaimed Ram Reddy.
By the time the party’s 2nd list was announced it was said that Ram Reddy was the top choice of seniors, however, Malreddy remained the choice of Revanth Reddy. In 2018 despite contesting from BSP, Malreddy lost to Machireddy Kishan Reddy from BRS, with just less than 400 votes. Even in 2014, when he contested on a Congress party ticket it was a close contest, and he was able to get over 47,000 votes against Manchireddy who got over 56,000 votes while contesting on a TDP ticket.
