Overview
- Voting is set for November 11 in the urban Jubilee Hills seat, with BRS fielding Maganti Sunitha, Congress nominating V. Naveen Yadav, and BJP running Lankala Deepak Reddy.
- Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy urged voters to choose development and warned that a BRS win could jeopardize fine rice supply, 200 free power units, free bus travel for women, and ration card benefits.
- BRS leader K. T. Rama Rao led roadshows accusing Congress of broken promises and urging support for Sunitha; his remark telling voters to take money and still vote BRS drew a TPCC complaint seeking Election Commission action.
- The campaign features sharp allegations over a BRS–BJP ‘adhesive’ understanding, AIMIM’s on-ground support for the Congress, and BJP’s G. Kishan Reddy attacking both rivals while pledging to tap central funds for local fixes.
- A KK Surveys and Strategies pre-poll reported BRS at 55.2%, Congress at 37.8% and BJP at 7%, as residents voiced concerns about water supply, power cuts, sewage issues, and delayed welfare payouts.
