Today, Friday (November 14, 2205), Congress has got a big victory in the by-election of Jubilee Hills Assembly under Hyderabad. Congress candidate Naveen Yadav has defeated Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) candidate Maganti Sunita by a huge margin of more than 24,000 votes. This victory of Naveen Yadav is being considered as a major political upheaval in Telangana politics.

Let us tell you that this victory is also a big blow for BRS because Jubilee Hills Assembly was considered a strong and prestigious stronghold for BRS. This major defeat has raised questions about BRS’s connectivity and strategy with urban voters. The main reason for Congress’s victory is said to be working at the grassroots level and raising local issues. This result will boost the morale of Congress and its alliance before the upcoming assembly elections and signals the beginning of a new debate in the political scenario of Telangana.

BRS had made serious allegations
Even though Congress may have won this by-election, serious allegations were made against Congress by BRS regarding this election. Before voting, a large number of fake voter IDs were found here. In this matter, senior BRS leader Harish Rao accused the ruling Congress that the Congress party has prepared a large number of fake voter ID cards to cast fake votes in the by-election. Harish Rao had said that what are the officials doing when heaps of fake IDs are being found? This allegation raises serious doubts on the transparency of the election process, especially in the sensitive Jubilee Hills seat where the contest was extremely tough.

There was a clash between Congress and BRS workers
Apart from this, let us tell you that on the day of voting, Congress workers were accused of roaming around in many booths wearing party T-shirts. Many videos of this were also revealed. BRS had alleged that Congress leaders and workers were trying to influence voters. There was a clash between Congress and BRS workers regarding this.
