In response to a query, she asked that media people and journalists contact State BJP President Bandi Sanjay and senior leader K Laxman on her behalf. In response to another question, Vijayashanti stated that she had not yet received a specific nature of job to work for the party. Only Laxman Sir and Bandi Sanjay should be aware of how they intend to use my services, she said. The party's leadership will decide from where she will contest in the election?, Vijayashanti added.
