Jubilee Hills Bypoll Enters Final Stretch as Revanth Presses CBI, Surveys Tip BRS

Fresh polling shows BRS ahead, with graft claims dominating the final stretch.

Overview

  • Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy demanded a CBI FIR in the Kaleshwaram case by November 11 and arrests of K. Chandrashekar Rao, T. Harish Rao and K. T. Rama Rao, while alleging the Governor has held a file to prosecute K. T. Rama Rao in the Formula E matter for about two months.
  • A Chanakya Strategies pre-poll survey reported by Telangana Today estimates BRS at 43% support, Congress at 38%, BJP at 10% and others at 9%, projecting an advantage for BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha.
  • BJP leaders spotlighted local grievances in Erragadda, calling a planned graveyard in a residential area 'insensitive' and citing poor drainage, damaged roads, open manholes and noise violations, while the Jana Sena Party announced support for BJP candidate L. Deepak Reddy.
  • BRS working president K. T. Rama Rao cast the contest as a fight between the party’s ‘car’ symbol and the Congress ‘bulldozer,’ warning voters their homes need protection and accusing the government of delaying student fee reimbursements.
  • Congress highlighted welfare delivery in the constituency — including new ration cards, free power and rice distribution — and Revanth Reddy pledged 4,000 houses for the poor if its candidate Naveen Yadav wins.
