Hyderabad, June 5 (Reporter) Etala Rajender, who won the Lok Sabha seat of Malkajgiri on a BJP ticket, stated that the people of Telangana have positioned the BJP as an alternative to Congress in the state.

He expressed gratitude towards the people for wholeheartedly supporting BJP candidates in the Lok Sabha elections, noting an increase in the voting percentage to 35 per cent, up from 15 per cent in the Assembly elections. Rajender remarked that the people of Malkajgiri and Mahabubnagar have taught a lesson to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who claimed those seats as his own.
