Sirisha became famous with a video in which she said that she was not getting a job even after studying degree and added that it was why she was living by rearing buffaloes.

After the election result, she said that the voters supported her for her honesty. “I think I’ve won. I will continue to fight on people’s issues,” Barelakka had said.
