MLC Victory Highlights BJP’s Increasing Influence in North Telangana
These twin victories demonstrate the party’s rising influence in North Telangana. Earlier, the BJP’s Malka Komuraiah was declared the winner of the Teachers’ MLC constituency, while Chinnamile Anji Reddy’s triumph was confirmed late last night after the tallying of second-preference votes.
Prime Minister Modi took to his ‘X’ account to say, “I thank the people of Telangana for bestowing the BJP with remarkable support in the MLC elections. Congratulations to our newly elected candidates. I take pride in our party karyakartas who tirelessly work within the community.”
Bandi Sanjay Kumar, the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs and Karimnagar MP, directed a pointed comment at the Congress, saying, “The BJP wins 2 MLC seats through the ballot while the Congress falls apart. Whether it’s EVMs or ballots, the people have chosen the BJP! Now, I ask Rahul Gandhi, who often complains about EVMs, will he respond? Or will he come up with another excuse for Congress’s defeat?” He termed it a Ramzan gift to the Congress. G Kishan Reddy, BJP state president and Union Minister for Mines, asserted that the victory illustrates the BJP’s strengthening foothold in the state. The party’s national general secretary (organization), BL Santhosh, labeled it as yet another setback for Congress’s guarantee politics and INDI Alliance.
In the first preference round for the Karimnagar-Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad Graduates Constituency election, BJP’s Anji Reddy garnered 75,765 votes, while Congress candidate Narender Reddy received 70,565 votes, and BSP’s Prasanna Harikrishna obtained 60,419 votes. Although the BRS did not field a candidate, its leaders showed support for the BSP candidate. As no candidate achieved a clear majority, second preference votes were counted, resulting in Anji Reddy’s victory by a margin of 4,991 votes.
The BRS opted out of contention for all three MLC seats, and the Congress only fielded a candidate for the Graduates constituency, previously held by T Jeevan Reddy, who chose not to contest this time. The BJP, however, was the sole party to put forth candidates for all three seats, with Union ministers, MLAs, and leaders actively campaigning, while the Congress relied mainly on Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy.
In a separate outcome, PRTU-backed independent candidate T Sripal Reddy emerged victorious in the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Teachers constituency. Despite the BJP’s involvement, their candidate was eliminated along with 17 others, highlighting the party’s still-limited traction in South Telangana.
In light of this setback, aspirants within the Congress for the upcoming MLC elections—of which five seats will be elected by MLAs—are fiercely vying for candidacy. The older faction seeks rewards for their loyalty, while the younger contingent, aligned with the chief minister, expresses growing impatience.
