All major parties in Telangana treated the Jubilee Hills by-election as a prestigious battle. Senior leaders campaigned aggressively in every lane and colony. Their teams worked day and night to secure a winning margin. The focus remained on voter outreach until the last day.
During the counting today, unexpected trends surprised many leaders. The results from the first round brought mixed reactions within political groups. In the Sheikhpet Division, the BJP vanished from the contest. Congress candidate Naveen Yadav displayed a narrow early lead. The BRS stayed close and continued a strong fight.
The combined two rounds shocked the BJP completely. Their candidate Lankala Deepanreddy secured only 307 votes. Party leaders are reportedly disappointed with the poor performance. The division had witnessed extensive campaigning by Union Ministers Bandi Sanjay and Kishan Reddy. Analysts say their efforts did not translate into votes.
Political observers believe the early trends indicate a tough road ahead for the BJP in this by-election. Congress gained momentum with every round. The BRS managed to stay competitive and kept the contest alive. More rounds will decide whether Congress can extend its lead or whether the BRS can recover. The final outcome remains closely watched by party strategists.
