By Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has made a powerful appeal to the voters of Jubilee Hills constituency, urging them to vote for development, stability, and good governance over what he described as “drama and disruption.” As the Jubilee Hills byelection draws near, the Chief Minister intensified his campaign, emphasizing the Congress government’s commitment to people-centric policies and long-term urban progress.
Addressing a massive public gathering, Revanth Reddy reminded the residents of Hyderabad’s prestigious constituency that “real progress comes from continuity, not chaos.” His statement was widely interpreted as a pointed message to opposition parties accused of creating political instability for electoral gain.
Byelection Gains Momentum in Hyderabad’s Heart
The Jubilee Hills byelection has emerged as one of the most closely watched political events in Telangana. The seat, located in the heart of Hyderabad, represents not only an urban stronghold but also a symbol of Telangana’s economic aspirations and cosmopolitan identity.
With a large population of professionals, entrepreneurs, and middle-class families, the constituency reflects urban voters’ expectations for better infrastructure, housing, safety, and digital governance. The byelection, triggered by a vacancy following the resignation of the sitting MLA, has drawn intense attention from all major political parties — Congress, BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi), and BJP — each seeking to consolidate their urban base ahead of the next state assembly elections.
Revanth Reddy’s Vision for Jubilee Hills
In his campaign speech, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy outlined a comprehensive vision for transforming Jubilee Hills into a model constituency for urban governance. He highlighted key achievements of his government since taking office — including power sector stabilization, infrastructure improvements, and the rejuvenation of welfare schemes that were previously stalled.
He assured voters that under his leadership, the Congress government aims to focus on sustainable urban planning, better traffic management, and modernized civic amenities. Referring to Hyderabad’s global potential, he stated, “Jubilee Hills is not just a locality; it is the face of modern Telangana. The people here deserve roads that are smooth, systems that are transparent, and governance that listens.”
Reddy also announced that the government would allocate additional funds to strengthen the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) and enhance coordination with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to speed up urban works.
“Reject Political Drama and Opportunism”
Revanth Reddy didn’t hold back his criticism of the opposition parties. Without naming them directly, he accused rivals of indulging in “public theatrics” and “empty promises” that distract citizens from genuine issues.
“Some parties want to turn every election into a stage for drama,” he remarked. “But the people of Jubilee Hills are educated and wise — they know that development cannot thrive in chaos.”
He alleged that opposition leaders were spreading misinformation and creating confusion among voters to divert attention from their own failures. The Chief Minister reminded citizens that during the previous administration, several urban projects had either stalled or been delayed due to mismanagement and corruption.
Congress’s Urban Development Agenda
Under Revanth Reddy’s leadership, the Telangana Congress government has prioritized urban renewal and public infrastructure as cornerstones of its development strategy. Key initiatives include:
- Hyderabad Urban Mobility Mission (HUMM): A new plan to ease traffic congestion through advanced traffic management systems, additional flyovers, and better road connectivity.
- Clean and Green Hyderabad: A city-wide waste management program with a focus on recycling and sustainable practices.
- Affordable Housing for All: Expansion of double-bedroom housing projects and the launch of new schemes for middle-income groups in Hyderabad.
- Digital Citizen Services: Simplifying public service delivery through the “Telangana Digital Gateway,” integrating citizen grievances, utility payments, and government notifications in one platform.
Revanth Reddy promised that Jubilee Hills would benefit directly from these reforms, with fast-tracked projects to improve drainage systems, road maintenance, and water supply.
Revanth Reddy’s Message to Voters
The Chief Minister’s campaign speech carried a strong emotional tone, appealing to voters’ sense of civic pride and responsibility. He said, “This election is not just about one seat. It’s about choosing between constructive governance and destructive politics. We have shown in just months what can be achieved when the government works for people, not propaganda.”
He called upon youth, women, and first-time voters to participate actively in the electoral process. “Your vote is your voice,” he declared. “Use it to silence negativity and support growth.”
The Congress campaign has also emphasized Revanth Reddy’s image as a dynamic and accessible leader, contrasting him with leaders accused of being disconnected from public realities.
Public Response and Ground Sentiment
Local residents have shown a mixed but increasingly favorable response to the Chief Minister’s campaign. Many urban voters have expressed appreciation for the government’s initiatives to improve roads, curb waterlogging, and enhance waste management.
However, some voters remain cautious, citing the need for consistent implementation rather than announcements. Political analysts note that the urban middle class — traditionally less swayed by emotional appeals — will play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the byelection.
Meanwhile, Revanth Reddy’s confident tone has infused new energy into the Congress campaign machinery. Party workers have intensified door-to-door canvassing and social media outreach under the theme “Vote for Development, Not Drama.”
A Test of Urban Mandate
The Jubilee Hills byelection is being viewed as a mini-referendum on the Revanth Reddy government’s performance since assuming office. A victory here would strengthen the Congress’s urban base and reaffirm the Chief Minister’s position as a credible, reform-oriented leader.
Political observers believe that if the Congress retains or wins Jubilee Hills, it will send a powerful signal of public confidence in the government’s development agenda. Conversely, a loss could embolden opposition parties in their campaign to portray the government as struggling to manage urban challenges.
Conclusion: Development as the New Political Narrative
Revanth Reddy’s call to choose development over drama reflects a broader shift in Telangana’s political landscape. As Hyderabad continues to evolve as a global city, its citizens increasingly demand governance that delivers — not politics that divides.
By emphasizing tangible progress, inclusive growth, and transparent governance, the Chief Minister seeks to position Congress as the party of constructive politics. Whether this message resonates with Jubilee Hills voters will soon be known, but one thing is clear — the stakes in this election go beyond a single constituency. They represent the future direction of urban Telangana and the kind of leadership its people wish to trust.
