In 2024, she polled 80,211 votes and defeated her nearest rival and three time MLA, Peedika Rajanna Dora of YSR Congress Party, by a margin of 13,733 votes.[11][12]
On 18 June 2024, she went to the secretariat and took charge as the Tribal Welfare and Women and Child Welfare Minister. After taking charge, she said that bike ambulances would be introduced as the regular ambulance services were not able to reach some tribal areas in the hilly regions. She also promised that "facilitation centres would be constructed for pregnant tribal women".[13]
