Karimnagar mayor to resign if Ravinder Singh wins

There is no scope of Ravinder Singh winning, as he has gone against ruling party line, Sunil Rao declared

KARIMNAGAR: Karimnagar mayor Y. Sunil Rao on Saturday announced that he will resign if independent MLC candidate and former mayor Sardar Ravinder Singh wins the MLC election.

Speaking to media persons in Karimnagar city, the mayor, however, expressed confidence that both ruling TRS candidates from the two seats in erstwhile Karimnagar district – L. Ramana and T. Bhanu Prasad Rao – will win.

“There is no scope of Ravinder Singh winning, as he has gone against ruling party line,” Sunil Rao declared. His assertion comes in wake of everyone in Karimnagar wondering about Ravinder Singh and his followers celebrating after completion of voting in the MLC elections.

The mayor accused Ravinder Singh of trying to distribute costly mobile phones and money to family members of TRS MLC voters. Sunil Rao maintained that though voters belonging to BJP had supported Ravinder Singh, they did not exercise their franchise. “By this, one can understand that Ravinder Singh is going to witness disastrous results,” the mayor maintained.

He asserted that TRS will once again prove that erstwhile Karimnagar district is its stronghold by getting both its MLC candidates elected with a thumping majority.
