Recalling the recent elections, Srinivasa Varma became emotional while addressing the gathering. He stated that some had spread false rumours, labelling him as a “weak candidate” when he contested from Narasapuram as the NDA coalition’s Lok Sabha candidate. He acknowledged the strong support and encouragement he received during that time from the BJP’s central and state leadership, as well as from TDP and Jana Sena chiefs, Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan.
