By the end of two rounds, the BJP received only 307 votes. A total of 31,182 votes were polled in the Sheikhpet Division. A slight advantage has been recorded for the Congress here. The party had focused on this division from the beginning and expected a larger lead. However, it managed to stay ahead with a margin of 1,144 votes over the BRS.

The BRS expected silent voters to support its candidate. Those expectations were not met, resulting in a setback for the party. With the counting in Sheikhpet completed, attention has now shifted to the Vengalrao Nagar and Somajiguda divisions.

These two divisions have a higher presence of settlers and upper-middle-class voters. The direction of these votes could impact the final result. Whether the BRS candidate can overtake the Congress will be known as the next rounds are counted.
