Uttam Kumar Reddy acknowledged Srikantha Chary's ultimate sacrifice for Telangana's statehood and noted that Shankaramma had previously worked with the BRS for a long time. She had even contested against him in the 2018 Assembly elections from Huzurnagar. However, he emphasised that there had never been any personal animosity between them.
The state of Telangana is going for the Lok Sabha polls on May 13 and the results would be announced on June 4, 2024.
