Dattatreya takes ticket denial in stride, says he will campaign for party

Former Union minister and senior BJP leader Bandaru Dattatreya vowed to campaign for party candidate G. Kishan Reddy in the Secunderabad parliamentary constituency and in rest of Telangana to ensure maximum victories and further strengthen the party at the grassroot level.
Dismissing reports of his quitting the party on being denied a chance to contest again, Mr. Dattatreya said he has always been a disciplined party worker and had worked according to the leadership wishes. “I was a sitting MP so I did seek a renomination but now my wholehearted support is for Mr. Kishan Reddy and I am confident he will win. The party will revive itself and fare much better than the Assembly polls,” he claimed, at a press conference on Friday.
