I am confident of winning this time too: S Muniraju

Apart from this, 40 parks were constructed, around 40,000 BPL cards were issued and sufficient classrooms were built in government schools.

What are the major works/ projects that you have carried out in your constituency?
I have completed major works in the constituency after I was elected. One is the sewage system facility, the other is Cauvery water supply for almost every ward except five villages. Apart from this, 40 parks were constructed, around 40,000 BPL cards were issued and sufficient classrooms were built in government schools.

What do you feel is the major issue in the constituency?
The constituency is divided into two by the National Highway (NH-4). Nearly one lakh garment workers cross the road every day and they urgently need an underpass. Despite submitting the request many times, the government has never responded to any of my pleas.

Why is the construction of Mallasandra Bus-stand still not complete though construction work began in 2012?
I had called Ramalinga Reddy(previously transport minister) several times. Whenever I met him in Vidhana Soudha, I requested him to complete the work. But the government has discriminated against constituencies the ruling party lost, when it comes to developmental projects.

People had high expectations from you after seeing the performance in your first term as MLA. Do you think you failed to reach the same mark in your second term from 2013-18?
I could not deliver as much as expected because of lack of grants from the government this time, but I did try. My constituency did not even get half the grants neighbouring constituencies represented by Congress MLAs got.

Do you think the constituency will continue to be a BJP stronghold? How confident are you of winning this time?
Since the 1990s, no other party has won in my constituency. Even in the local elections, we have won the maximum seats in the BBMP wards and panchayats. I am 100% confident that this constituency will remain a BJP stronghold and I will win again.
