It may be recalled that Jana Reddy lost from Nagarjuna Sagar constituency to TRS candidate Nomula Narsimhaiah by 7,774 votes in the 2018 Assembly elections.
Essentially seen as a fight between the TRS candidate Nomula Bhagath and veteran Congress leader K Jana Reddy, the bypoll has 39 other candidates including BJP’s Pandugothu Ravi Kumar in the fray
Narasimaiah’s popular image among the constituents coupled with the TRS govt’s welfare and development programmes place the ruling party in a win-win situation
