Naveen Yadav Confirmed as Congress Candidate for Jubilee Hills By-Election
The Congress party has officially confirmed Naveen Yadav as its candidate for the upcoming Jubilee Hills by-election, bringing clarity to weeks of speculation. Naveen has already been active in the constituency, meeting voters and building momentum even before the formal announcement. His selection received strong backing from Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and party leadership from the beginning, and the high command has now given its approval.
Naveen Yadav belongs to an influential local family with deep roots in Jubilee Hills. His father, Chinna Srisailam Yadav, is a well-known and respected figure in the area, holding considerable influence across various communities, including a strong connection with Muslim voters. This family legacy has helped Naveen establish a solid base of support in the constituency.
Naveen is not new to electoral politics. In 2014, he contested the Jubilee Hills seat with the support of the Majlis and finished in a strong second place, narrowly losing to TDP candidate Gopinath. Later, due to disputes over party tickets, he contested as an independent, demonstrating his willingness to stay in the race despite challenges. Eventually, he joined the Congress ahead of the current elections, aligning himself with the ruling party in Telangana.
Congress leadership sees Naveen as a strategically strong candidate due to his personal rapport with voters, his family’s longstanding presence, and his previous electoral experience. Party insiders believe his local connect and cross-community support could give Congress a major advantage in this high-profile constituency. With the official announcement now made, the party is expected to intensify its campaign efforts.
With strong backing from the leadership and a favorable local base, Congress is confident that Naveen Yadav stands a strong chance of winning the Jubilee Hills seat in the upcoming by-election.
