Background
Huzurabad by-election battle turned into a catalyst test in Telangana politics. TRS has been witnessing continuous setbacks from BJP from the 2019 MP elections, Dubbak Bypoll & GHMC elections results. If BJP recreates the magic, then it will raise the morale and confidence of the party cadre resulting in the likely elevation of the BJP into the chief opposition party. But, BJP performance in districts like Warangal, Khammam, Nalgonda, and Mahabubnagar district is not good enough. We need to remember, the same thing happened in the 2019 parliament elections resulting in 7 mp seats to BJP & Congress. BJP’s pathetic performance in the Nagarjuna Sagar poll is a perfect instance. Congress has a stronghold over BJP in those areas.
BJP elevation will not cause a triangular fight across the state, due to Congress & BJP’s limitations, causing much damage to TRS. Real threats of the TRS party are anti-incumbency and swing-voters between BJP and Congress.
Result Analysis
- BJP vote share is recorded at 52%. It got 16% in the 2019 MP elections.
- TRS secured 59% & 48% in 2018 Assembly & 2019 MP Elections. It lost massive vote share.
- INC got less than a 2% vote share. It got 35% in 2018 assembly elections and 30% in 2019 MP elections. Congress witnessed a massive loss. This verdict triggered pandora’s box in state congress party leaders. They started blaming each other.
- Out of 22 rounds, TRS got a bare margin lead in just two rounds.
- Based on the ground reports, it is clear that the TRS party Dalitha Bandhu scheme caused much displeasure among OBC sections.
- Silaveru Srikanth from Praja Ekta Party (08) got more postal votes than the Congress party (02) out of 729 polled votes, causing much embarrassment to Congress Party Cadre.
- TRS failed in the creation of a narrative against Etela & BJP. People developed much sympathy for Etela Rajender. Rajender’s entry into BJP caused a combined synergistic force which helped in winning the election.

Huzurabad Exit Poll Analysis
- Etela Rajender from BJP has a clear edge against Gellu Srinivas from TRS in Huzurabad.
- Based on our inputs from ground level, Etela Rajender is going to win with a 10,000 majority (+ or – 2000)
- Expected Vote share: TRS 43-45% BJP 47-50% Congress 3 – 5%
- The voting pattern is clearly split among different sections based on caste and religion.
- Major Dalit vote share went to TRS and special thanks to Dalit Bandhu.
- Dalit Bandhu has caused displeasure among the BC vote bank. The majority of BC (specially munnuru kaapu, padma shali & mudiraj) vote share went to BJP.
- Reddies account for 20-22k voters in the constituency. The majority of people preferred BJP.
- BJP is leading in Huzurabad, Jammikunta & Veenavanka mandals while TRS is leading in Kamalapur and Illanthakunta mandals.
- Gellu Srinivas’s candidature is misfired from TRS. He could not compete with the charisma of Rajender. Another important thing is, Rajender has a long-term association with the constituency and people.
- TRS party used all its arms and weapons. It went to the extreme by announcing the Dalit Bandhu across the state, which caused many debates about the practical implementation and availability of funds in the state government. TRS party succeeded in attracting Dalit vote bank in the constituency but at the cost of BC vote bank. Now, we need to see whether TRS commits with the Dalit Bandhu scheme across the state or not.
- BJP campaigns were very planned and strategic. Leaders from other districts toured in the constituency. Eatela Rajender has started the campaign right from the day he joined the BJP. Kishan Reddy, Bandi Sanjay, D Aravind, Raghunandan, and Vijaya Shanthi campaigned extensively across all the villages in the constituency. RSS cadre also joined the campaign, which accelerated the campaign at the grass-root level.
- Major survey agencies gave a clear mandate to Etela Rajender. If this happens, the Huzurabad verdict will make a great impact in the combined Karimnagar, Nizamabad & Adilabad districts.
