The Jubilee Hills by-election is fast turning into a symbolic battleground against the Congress government, which has completed 22 months and 9 days in power. Growing dissatisfaction among various sections of society has led several aggrieved groups to declare their intention to contest the by-election as a form of protest.
Among those expressing discontent are the RRR and Lagacharla land acquisition victims , Pharma City-affected families , Group-1 aspirants , and leaders from Mala organizations . They have announced plans to file nominations to voice their grievances and highlight government failures.
Political analysts note that while these protest candidates may not directly impact the major parties, their presence could influence voter sentiment and split votes in unpredictable ways. The coming election will reveal who bears the brunt of this citizen-led resistance.
