Congress Touts Edge in Jubilee Hills Bypoll as Turnout Disappoints

Leaders lean on exit polls pending the November 14 count.

Overview

  • Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy reviewed polling trends with ministers and senior leaders immediately after voting ended on November 11.
  • Internal assessments and multiple exit polls were cited by party sources as indicating a likely Congress lead in the constituency.
  • Reddy voiced dissatisfaction with the 48.47% polling figure against a 70% target, noting it was only slightly higher than recent Assembly and Lok Sabha turnouts.
  • He blamed weak mobilisation by booth-level incharges despite assigning one organiser for roughly every 100 voters.
  • TPCC chief B. Mahesh Kumar Goud said trends favored Congress and expressed confidence the result would be confirmed when votes are counted on November 14.
