November 28, 2025
The tiny village of Jogugudem in Kamepalli mandal, Khammam district, is buzzing with election drama! Ahead of the upcoming Gram Panchayat elections, the villagers are reportedly set to pick a single winner for the Sarpanch post – all thanks to a jaw-dropping offer.
According to unconfirmed sources, on Friday, the villagers sailed through a unanimous decision in a meeting. Among the seven candidates eyeing the Sarpanch seat, one stood tall by vowing to spend a whopping ₹20 lakh for building a beautiful temple and boosting village development works. This offer reportedly clinched him the unanimous support, turning the meeting into a game-changer!
This unusual turn has sparked wild talks on social media where many people called it an "auctioning of the post." However, the locals quickly denied these charges, fighting back against the rumors.
An official from the election monitoring team in Khammam shared, "So far, no such incident has come to our notice." The officer assured, "We will inquire into the matter and take appropriate steps to ensure free and fair elections."
Mark your calendars! Jogugudem will cast its votes in the second phase of the Gram Panchayat elections next month. Nominations start on November 30, and the whole village is watching closely. Will money make votes, or will fairness triumph? Stay tuned as democracy dances at the grassroots in Khammam!
