"For the last 36 days, I personally went to 296 villages in Telangana to distribute rice, vegetables, and essential commodities to the poor people. My party cadre has also distributed these essential commodities in another 60 villages," Seethakka said.
The MLA was also one of the first legislators to raise the issue of face masks, a month before the Telangana government mandated the same.

"To fulfill the hunger of poor people in my constituency, I recently started the 'Go Hunger Go' campaign during the lockdown period and will continue this until the lockdown ends," she said.
Seethakka was earlier a Maoist who studied law, practiced at Warangal court, and contested and won the legislative elections from the constituency.
