A total of 58 candidates are in the fray — three from major parties, 26 from registered ones, and 29 independents. The constituency has 4.01 lakh voters, and authorities have set up 407 polling stations. On average, each station will serve about 986 voters. Historically, voter turnout in Jubilee Hills has remained below 50 percent. Therefore, election authorities have launched awareness programs to encourage greater participation.

Among the 4,01,365 voters, there are 123 NRIs, 18 service voters, 1,908 persons with disabilities, 6,859 new voters, and 2,134 senior citizens above 85 years. For this election, officials plan to deploy 2,442 ballot units, 569 control units, and 610 VVPATs.

Vote counting will take place at Kotha Vijaya Bhaskar Reddy Stadium in Yousufguda, where preparations are in full swing. Meanwhile, top leaders from all three major parties have set up base in the area. Congress CM Revanth Reddy, BJP leaders Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay, and BRS leaders K.T.R. and Harish Rao have led intense campaigns. They have held corner meetings, made promises, and exchanged sharp criticisms, turning Jubilee Hills into the center of Telangana’s political heat.

Since becoming a constituency in 2008, Jubilee Hills has displayed diverse voting behavior. In previous polls, voters supported different parties in assembly, parliament, and GHMC elections. While Congress banks on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s local influence and MIM’s silent support, BRS is relying on regional sentiment and anti-incumbency. BJP’s limited campaign presence has reduced its chances.

Local caste equations, minority votes, and urban elites’ indifference have added complexity. The TDP’s neutral stance has created uncertainty among its traditional supporters. Analysts believe the main fight remains between Congress and BRS.

Though this victory may be temporary, its impact could be far-reaching. A Congress win may boost government morale, while a BRS revival could energize its cadre and reshape Telangana’s political balance.

KTR noted that BRS had developed Hyderabad into Telangana’s economic hub during its decade in power. He said Congress’ policies, in contrast, have weakened the city and damaged its growth. According to him, residents believe only BRS can restore stability and continue Hyderabad’s progress.

The BRS leader accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of creating fear and instability that collapsed Hyderabad’s economic system. He added that every community has suffered because of the Congress administration’s failures. “If development must continue, people know BRS should return to power,” KTR remarked.

Senior leaders discussed by-election strategies during the meeting. KTR urged party leaders and cadres to unite and campaign vigorously. He said Jubilee Hills should mark the restart of BRS’ winning journey and demonstrate the people’s trust in the party.
