The ruling Congress in Telangana has declared V. Naveen Yadav as its candidate for the by-election to be held on November 11 in Jubilee Hills assembly constituency of Hyderabad. Congress General Secretary K.C. Venugopal issued a statement on Wednesday announcing Naveen Yadav’s candidature.
41 year old Naveen Yadav has been in many parties. He contested the 2014 Telangana Assembly elections on the ticket of Asaduddin Owaisi’s party All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and in 2018 as an independent candidate. After this, in 2023 he joined the Congress Party.
Azharuddin and Anjan Kumar angry
Before Naveen Yadav, Azharuddin was a strong candidate from this seat and Anjan Kumar Yadav was also in the race to get the ticket from here, but Naveen Yadav defeated both of them. Azharuddin and Anjan Kumar are angry over Naveen Yadav being given preference over two senior Congress leaders. Now it remains to be seen how Congress resolves the anger of these two leaders.
However, Naveen Yadav is also involved in a controversy recently. Police have registered a case against him for distributing printed e-EPIC (Electronic Electoral Photo Identity Card) without hologram during an event in Hyderabad. This incident was in the news before the announcement of his candidature.
Why are by-elections being held in Jubilee Hills Assembly?
The need for by-election in Jubilee Hills assembly constituency arose due to the death of Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) MLA Maganti Gopinath. Maganti Gopinath died of a heart attack in June 2025. This by-election is being seen as an important political contest between the ruling Congress and the opposition parties.
Considering Naveen Yadav’s experience and his activism in the field, the Congress Party has selected him for this important seat. Now all eyes are on whether Naveen Yadav will be able to win for Congress in this by-election. The results of the by-elections can bring a new twist in the politics of Telangana.
