In a politically charged move ahead of the Jubilee Hills bypoll, the Congress government in Telangana is reportedly set to induct former cricket captain Mohammed Azharuddin into the State Cabinet, despite his lack of legislative membership. The decision, proposed by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and cleared by the party high command, aims to appeal to Muslim voters amid BRS's growing strength.
BRS president K. Chandrashekhar Rao will chair a preparatory meeting with senior party leaders and division in-charges to review ground-level campaign progress and finalise strategies for the Jubilee Hills by-election, aiming to secure a decisive victory for candidate Maganti Sunitha Gopinath.
BRS leader RS Praveen Kumar criticised Minister Ponnam Prabhakar for calling Maganti Sunitha’s emotional appeal during the Jubilee Hills bypoll campaign “drama”, accusing him of trivialising a widow’s grief.
KTR described the Jubilee Hills by-election as a fight between a decade of BRS development and two years of Congress misrule. BRS candidate Maganti Sunitha filed her nomination, seeking to continue her late husband’s work for the constituency.
BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao handed over the party B-form and Rs 40 lakh to Sunitha Gopinath for the Jubilee Hills bypoll. With polling on November 11, the party ramps up rallies, door-to-door outreach, and campaign efforts
The AIMIM is expected to stay out of the upcoming Jubilee Hills by-election on November 11, a strategic move aimed at preventing minority vote division and defeating the BJP. With over 1.20 lakh Muslim voters in the constituency, AIMIM’s decision is seen as a tactical shift.
