He expressed confidence that an educated and dynamic representative like Sama Ram Mohan Reddy would raise genuine public issues effectively if elected to the Legislative Council. Moreover, he said such a member would represent the aspirations of the people.
Azharuddin urges graduates to enrol and back Congress candidate
The Minister called upon eligible graduates to come forward, complete their voter registration and support the Congress candidate. He said active participation at the registration stage was essential to strengthening the party’s prospects in the election. Therefore, he urged graduates not to wait for the polling stage to engage with the process.
Azharuddin said the success of any party in the Graduates’ MLC elections begins with how well it enrols eligible voters. For this reason, MLC voter enrolment remained the first step in the Congress campaign, he said.
