After the passing of the Jubilee Hills MLA, Congress has turned its attention to ticket allocation for the upcoming by-election. Party leaders are focusing on three key contenders from the Backward Classes: educationist Bhavani Shankar, political strategist Naveen Yadav, and former MP Anjan Kumar.
Each of the three leaders is actively lobbying with Congress high command in Delhi to secure the nomination. Their efforts reflect the importance of this high-profile urban seat, which carries both symbolic and electoral weight in Telangana politics.
Congress leaders aim to balance BC representation with winnability while strengthening their outreach among backward communities. Political observers believe the decision will not only shape voter sentiment in Jubilee Hills but also signal the party’s larger approach toward reservation-based representation.
As the selection process moves forward, anticipation is building among party workers, supporters, and analysts who see this by-election as a test of Congress’s evolving strategy.
