In a significant political upset in Huzurabad, the Congress party emerged as the clear winner in the municipality elections. Out of 30 wards, Congress candidates secured 16 seats, achieving a decisive majority, while BRS managed only 8 seats, BJP won 5, and an independent candidate claimed 1 ward. This result marks a major setback for BRS in a constituency long considered its stronghold under MLA Padi Kaushik Reddy.
BRS leaders had hoped for a clean sweep in Huzurabad, leveraging assembly-level strategies and local influence. However, the municipal elections highlighted the party’s inability to translate past assembly success into grassroots support. The party struggled to connect with voters ward by ward, resulting in an unexpectedly poor performance across the municipality.
BJP, led by Etela Rajender in the region, also faced limited success. Despite fielding key candidates and leveraging local networks, the party won only 5 wards. The results underline BJP’s diminishing influence in Huzurabad, restricting the party to a distant third place and raising questions about its future prospects in the constituency.
The election outcome demonstrates Congress’s growing appeal and organizational strength at the municipal level in Telangana. With a clear majority, Congress is now in a position to assert control over local governance in Huzurabad, while BRS and BJP must reassess strategies to regain voter confidence in upcoming local and state elections.
