While this is the second time Kishan Reddy contested and won from the seat, it is the third time in a row a BJP candidate won from here.

Reddy maintained a steady lead of around 5,000 votes throughout the initial counting rounds and gradually increased the number.

Like the Hyderabad parliament seat, given the large margin, his win was also predetermined before the counting concluded.
