Jubilee Hills Bypoll Intensifies as BRS Seeks EC Action, Revanth Reddy Raises Welfare Stakes

Campaign narratives hinge on welfare safeguards versus alleged code violations, turning the seat into a barometer for Telangana.

Overview

  • BRS lodged a complaint with the Election Commission seeking Congress candidate V. Naveen Yadav’s disqualification and recovery of Rs 72 lakh allegedly spent from film workers’ association funds for a meeting attended by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.
  • K. T. Rama Rao led high‑visibility roadshows, accused the Congress of failing on promises and “looting the poor,” and urged voters to back BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha in the November 11 bypoll.
  • Revanth Reddy campaigned for Naveen Yadav, alleged a BRS–BJP understanding, and warned that a BRS win would jeopardise free rice, 200 units of free power, free bus travel for women, and ration card benefits.
  • AIMIM is actively backing the Congress on the ground in key neighbourhoods, as 4,01,365 electors across 407 polling stations prepare to choose among BRS, Congress and BJP’s Lankala Deepak Reddy.
  • BJP leader and Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy campaigned in Erragadda, criticised both Congress and BRS on governance, and promised to drive development using central funds if the BJP prevails.
