Key Winners in the MLC Election
- Chinnamail Anji Reddy, the BJP candidate, won the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar graduates’ segment, defeating his closest rival, V. Narender Reddy of Congress. The seat had been held by former Congress Minister T. Jeevan Reddy.
- Malka Komaraiah, the party-backed candidate, emerged victorious from the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar teachers’ constituency, winning with a margin of over 5,700 first-preference votes against Vanga Mahender Reddy of PRTU(TS).
- PRTU(TS) claimed the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda seat, with their candidate, P. Sripal Reddy, winning the second-preference votes and securing 13,969 votes.
Setback for Congress in the Election
The BJP’s victory in these MLC seats dealt a blow to Congress, especially as this election reflected the sentiments of the educated electorate in the state. The result is seen as a significant shift, considering that Congress had won the Assembly polls just over a year ago.
Leaders Celebrate BJP’s Win
Following the win, Union Minister for Coal and Mines and BJP state president G. Kishan Reddy congratulated Anji Reddy for his victory. He said the youth of Telangana had shown trust in the BJP’s developmental politics and PM Modi’s leadership, reinforcing the party’s growing popularity in the state.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar also celebrated the BJP’s success in Karimnagar. He stated that the Congress government’s time was up, claiming that the people of Telangana were now looking towards the BJP for change. Bandi Sanjay also pointed out that while Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, had expressed doubts about EVMs, the BJP’s victory came through elections held with ballot papers.
