Jubilee Hills Bypoll: Muslim Votes in Focus
The upcoming bypoll in Jubilee Hills has drawn attention to the 1.14 lakh Muslim voters in the constituency, who are divided in their choice between the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and the Congress party.
A ground report from Jubilee Hills reveals that 33% of the constituency's population is Muslim, and the community is split in its voting preferences.
- Senior citizens in the Muslim community tend to support the BRS, led by Sunitha, the wife of former MLA Maganti Gopinath.
- The youth, on the other hand, are inclined to vote for the Congress party.
The Congress party, which came to power in 2023, has not adequately represented the Muslims in the state, according to some senior citizens.
The by-election was necessitated by the death of Maganti Gopinath in June, and the BRS is attempting to retain its hold on the constituency by fielding his wife as its candidate.
