Mainampalli Hanmantha Rao, who recently joined the Congress party and contested in the assembly elections from Malkajigiri but was defeated, is not planning to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from the same constituency. He clarified this news recently.
Instead, Hanmantha Rao has decided to focus on fighting against the alleged illegal activities of Medchal MLA Mallareddy for the next five years. He mentioned that Mallareddy is reportedly in talks with the Congress high command to gain control over him. Hanmantha Rao has been supporting students at Mallareddy Agriculture University and vows to continue fighting until colleges built on government lands are demolished.
Recently, students at Mallareddy Agriculture University in Maisammaguda went on strike, claiming they were being unfairly prevented from advancing to their third year. Hanmantha Rao showed his support by visiting the college and announcing his solidarity with the protesting students.
