Further thanking the graduates who voted for her, she said that it is an unforgettable moment in her life. “In fact, I have been away from politics for a long time. But, since we were born in political families, we have become accustomed to public service. I thought that there is no need for authority to serve people. Later, I realised that we can serve more if we have power,” she added.
Vani Devi also said she would take advantage of every minute to serve the people more now, adding that the promises made before the election will also be fulfilled.
Surabhi Vani Devi won the Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar Graduate MLC election from Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in March this year.
