Hyderabad: The ruling Congress on Wednesday, October 7, announced Naveen Yadav as its candidate for the upcoming Jubilee Hills by-election, ending weeks of speculation about its choice. Apart from Yadav, ex-MP Ranjith Reddy was one of the strong contenders from the ruling party, which will now look to win the seat from the main opposition Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).

The BRS on the other hand had earlier announced Maganti Sunitha, wife of the late BRS ex-MLA from Jubilee Hills Maganti Gopinath. Naveen Yadav’s candidacy is in all likelihood a result of the local support he enjoys in the constituency. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) however has still not announced its candidate for the upcoming by-election, which will be held on November 11.
