Families join campaign trail in Jubilee Hills by-election
Family members of candidates have joined the Jubilee Hills by-election campaign, adding a personal touch. Daughters of BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha and wife of Congress nominee Naveen Yadav actively canvassed across Yousufguda and Venkatagiri, connecting emotionally with voters
Hyderabad: Family members of candidates in the Jubilee Hills by-election have become an integral part of the campaign, adding an emotional touch as they reached out to voters across key areas in the constituency. The by-election is scheduled for November 11.
For instance, Maganti Sunitha’s daughters, Akshara Nag and Disira, campaigned at Lakshmi Narasimha Nagar (LN Nagar) in Yousufguda, urging voters to support their mother, the BRS candidate. Both sisters folded their hands and appealed to voters to vote for the ‘Car’ symbol. They also showed a dummy ballot unit and explained that their mother was contesting, urging voters to support her.
The sisters took part in the campaign for the first time in the past three weeks following the sudden demise of their father, BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath. Gopinath had one son, M Vatsalyanath, and two daughters, M Akshara Nag and M Disira. Initially, the son took part in the campaign to support his mother, but now the mother and daughters are actively participating.
Meanwhile, Varsha Yadav, wife of Congress candidate V Naveen Yadav, canvassed at Sri Krishnagar and Venkatagiri, accompanied by women party supporters. Varsha Yadav urged voters, “Naveen is like your son, please vote for him in the bye-election.” With folded hands, she added, “The party symbol is hand. Give one chance to Naveen anna and vote for him for the development of the constituency.”

The families of both BRS and Congress candidates took part in door-to-door campaigns in Yousufguda and Venkatagiri. On the other hand, BJP candidate Lankala Deepak Reddy has campaigned alone for most of the time since the by-poll was announced.
The presence of family members in door-to-door canvassing, padayatras, rallies, and corner meetings has lent a personal touch to the election atmosphere.
