Karne Sirisha, Alias Barrelakka , Makes Waves in Telangana Politics with Youth Support
In Telangana, a young woman named Karne Sirisha, better known as Barrelakka , is creating a buzz in the political world. She’s become a source of hope and inspiration for many young people in the area. Recently, she decided to enter politics, running as an independent candidate for the Kollapur constituency. This move has caught a lot of attention because she’s focusing on local issues and directly connecting with people, especially those who don’t have jobs.
Barrelakka ran her campaign with a small budget but still managed to make a big impact. She got 5,754 votes in her first election, which is quite impressive. She came in fourth in her constituency. The winner was Jupally Krishna Rao from the Congress party, but the number of votes Barrelakka got shows that she’s an influential figure, especially when it comes to grassroots politics in India.
Her success is a big deal because she didn’t have a lot of money or support from a big political party. This is different from other politicians like Mainampalli Rohit and Parnika Reddy, who had a lot of backing and resources and won in their areas. Barrelakka’s story shows that even independent candidates who focus on local issues and connect with people can make a difference in Indian politics.
Now, Barrelakka gearing up for her future political aspirations, including potentially contesting for a Member of Parliament position.Young people, especially those without jobs, are encouraging her to do this. They believe she can make a real difference. Barrelakka has said she’s ready to start campaigning for this right away. Her story is not just about getting involved in politics; it’s about showing young people all over India that they can be part of changing things for the better.
