Hyderabad: As the State gears up for April 11, candidates contesting for MP seats are leaving no stone unturned. As witnessed in some segments, spouses of the candidates are now star campaigners for the party in that said segment. With just four days left for campaigning to end, some of the MP candidates also entrusted their wives the responsibility of poll management.

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president and MP candidate from Nalgonda Lok Sabha segment N Uttam Kumar Reddy's wife N Padmavati Reddy, former MLA and party incharge of Kodada Assembly segment, has taken the responsibility of poll campaign in three of the seven assembly segments which fall under the purview of Nalgonda Parliament Constituency. Padmavati is organising door to door campaign and meeting voters to understand their plight.

Chevella Congress candidate Konda Visweswara Reddy's wife Sangita Reddy (who holds top executive post in corporate Apollo Hospitals) is busy campaigning for her husband. She is holding community meetings in the urban areas in the evenings and seeking the support from locals.

Sangita is also monitoring poll campaign in the rest of the segment by deploying special teams. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Secunderabad Lok Sabha segment G Kishan Reddy's wife Kavya is always active in resolving people's issues in Amberpet Assembly constituency, from where Reddy won for three consecutive terms but lost in 2018 Assembly elections. As Reddy is busy with campaigning in other Assembly segments, Kavya is holding meetings with local voters regularly.

Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president A Revanth Reddy, who is contesting from Malkajgiri Lok Sabha segment, also entrusted the responsibility of monitoring poll campaign to his wife Geetha. Geetha played an active role in Revanth Reddy's Assembly elections campaign in the just concluded assembly elections. Reddy contested from Kodangal Assembly segment but got defeated.
