Congress takes early lead in Jubilee Hills bypoll

The Jubilee Hills by-election began on a positive note for the Congress, with the party gaining a clear edge right from the postal ballot count. As the first trends emerged, the political atmosphere in the constituency turned lively and energetic.

Congress candidate Naveen Yadav, who campaigned confidently and stayed active on the ground, appeared to benefit early. His main rivals - Sunitha Maganti of the BRS and Deepak Reddy of the BJP - are also in the race, but Congress pulling ahead in the opening round has shifted the focus toward whether the party can hold onto this early momentum.

With several more rounds of counting still to go, every update is drawing attention, especially since Jubilee Hills remains one of Telangana's most significant urban constituencies.
