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.

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.
