Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin’s political ambitions face uncertainty in the upcoming Jubilee Hills by-election. While he is preparing for a strong campaign and remains confident about securing the Congress ticket, the party is reportedly considering a different strategy.
Political analysts suggest that, amid ongoing debates on Backward Class (BC) reservations, Congress may decide to field a BC candidate instead. This move could significantly reduce Azharuddin’s chances of contesting, despite his popularity and interest in entering the Assembly through this high-profile seat.
The final decision lies with the party leadership, which is balancing community representation with electoral strategy. Supporters of Azharuddin await clarity, while party insiders emphasize the importance of aligning candidate choices with social and political considerations.
The by-election in Jubilee Hills has become a focal point in Telangana politics, drawing intense public and media attention as Congress weighs its options.
