In his extensive election campaigns, Kiran Kumar Reddy expressed his confidence of winning the election. He listed out rising number of accidents, lack of underpasses, unemployment, pending irrigation facilities and unfulfilled infrastructure- promises as the issues in the constituency. Rather than mere allegations, Congress candidate presents detailed roadmap for the development of the constituency and pledges to resolve the issues if he elected as parliamentarian.
