How a 25 years poor girl from Kollapur, Nagarkurnool Assembly, Telangana is reaching out to the grassroots and challenging heavyweights from the ruling party.
Sirisha aka Barrellakka who had few buffaloes in her village. She wanted to appear for the Telangana State Civil Group exams after completing her BCom. With an aspiration to appear for the exam, She sold some of her cattle and landed in Hyderabad city to attend coaching classes. She had to stay in a hostel where the food was horrible, She said She had to focus on her goal and not the food. but when the state government delayed the group exams and later the papers were sold to the highest bidder all her aspirations were washed away. We also know about a student who committed suicide for not being able to get a seat.
Sirisha swore that she has to do something to correct this injustice done to the youth of Telangana. She wanted to help all those who were aspiring but turned out to be unemployed.
Shirisha without any political godfather or blessings from heavyweights, filed for the MLA nomination from her consitituency in Kollapur.
Her woes did not end there, powerful politicians used Saam, Dhaam, Dhanda, Bhed. they tried to ridicule her, threathen her. Using their powerful ties, they pulled strings and blocked her UPI links with the bank, did not give her permission to use a campaign vehicle. delayed giving her a symbol which is Whistle, there were also some violent threats.
Thousands of people from not only Telangana but also from neighbouring states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have come down to Kollapur and have participated in her campaign. Everyone participating in her campaign are voluntary and are spending their own money for food, fuel and accomodation.
She did not have any money for flags, banners and vehicles. But people who have admired her fight to become a MLA and solve the unemployment problem for the youth have poured their lifes saving for her campaign. This is a unique struggle that can only happen in Bharat. Will the ant kill the Elephants. Vote for a cause and not for glamour or freebies.
