Jubilee Hills | Telugu Vaadi TV: A new street interview from Jubilee Hills has sparked discussion around the rowdy sheeter allegations involving Naveen Yadav and his late father Srisailam Yadav. The person interviewed in the video offers a grounded perspective, claiming that the allegations are politically motivated, outdated, and have no bearing on the current by-election or Naveen Yadav’s character.
Historical Context: “Yes, There Was Rowdyism — But It’s History Now”
The interviewee begins by acknowledging that Jubilee Hills had serious rowdyism issues in the 1990s, particularly linked to Srisailam Yadav. “Back then, yes, there was a strong rowdy presence here. Srisailam Yadav’s name was associated with those times,” he admits. However, he quickly adds that this history has no relevance to today’s political landscape or to Naveen Yadav personally.
“That era is over. People have moved on. Today, there’s no nuisance or trouble from Naveen Yadav. He is not like his father. He’s focused on development, not domination,” the man states.
“No Cases, No Trouble” — Public Defends Naveen Yadav
Defending the Congress candidate, the interviewee asserts that Naveen Yadav has no criminal record or reputation for causing disturbances. “There are no cases, no fights, no rowdy activities. He doesn’t create fear among people,” he explains. According to him, the attempt to link Naveen to his father’s past is a “lazy political tactic” used to create sensational headlines during election time.
“You can’t judge a son by his father’s past. People know the difference between the two,” he adds, highlighting the public’s growing maturity in separating legacy from leadership.
Clarifying the Election Notice: “It’s for His Father, Not Him”
The interviewee also clarified confusion surrounding an ED notice circulated in recent days. He emphasized that the notice pertains to Srisailam Yadav (the late father) and not to Naveen Yadav. “People are spreading false information. The notice is old, and the man is not even alive. This is just election-season drama,” he said.
He accused certain opposition figures of using the ED notice to create public fear. “This is a typical move during elections — scare people, confuse voters, and make noise,” he remarked. However, he believes the strategy is failing. “No one is taking it seriously. Even BRS and BJP leaders have stopped mentioning it in their speeches,” he added.
Public Focus Has Shifted: “We Want Roads and Houses”
The man’s statements reflect a larger sentiment across Jubilee Hills — that the public’s priorities have shifted away from political mudslinging to basic development needs. “People are no longer scared of rowdies. They just want roads and houses,” he says. “We’ve been asking for drainage repairs, proper housing, and clean water. That’s what matters now.”
This statement echoes similar ground reports across Hyderabad where voters increasingly evaluate candidates by their ability to deliver infrastructure, not their past associations. “If someone builds roads, no one cares what people said about his father,” he adds.
Lingering Fear: “People Just Don’t Want the 90s Back”
Despite his defense of Naveen Yadav, the interviewee admits that a small sense of fear still lingers among older residents. “There’s always that thought — what if it goes back to how it was in the 90s?” he said. “That’s not because of Naveen himself, but because crime in general seems to have gone up in Hyderabad lately.”
He contrasts the current atmosphere with that of the previous BRS administration, saying, “During the BRS government, law and order was tight. Now under Congress, people are seeing more chain snatchings, thefts, and fights. So naturally, there’s some anxiety — not about Naveen, but about the general climate.”
Political Reactions and Ground Mood
Interestingly, the interviewee points out that even opposition parties are not pressing hard on the rowdy sheeter issue. “BRS and BJP leaders are focusing more on development and local promises. No one is wasting time repeating old stories,” he said. This, he believes, shows that the rowdy sheeter narrative has lost its bite.
Political observers note that this is a significant shift from earlier elections, where image and intimidation often played a larger role. “Now voters ask about housing schemes and water lines, not about personal feuds,” says one local journalist who followed the same campaign trail.
People’s Verdict: “Election Will Be Decided by Development”
When asked whether the ED notice or the rowdy sheeter label will affect the outcome of the Jubilee Hills by-election, the man was confident: “Zero impact. People want to see action, not drama.”
He predicts that the election will be decided by development credentials and Congress’s performance under CM Revanth Reddy. “If they show results — roads, housing, jobs — people will vote for them. Otherwise, they’ll look elsewhere. But this rowdy story won’t decide anything.”
Conclusion: From Fear to Focus
The public reaction in Jubilee Hills reveals a telling evolution in political awareness. While the shadow of Srisailam Yadav’s past rowdyism still exists in memory, voters appear ready to move beyond fear-based politics. The younger generation, especially, views these allegations as distractions from pressing civic issues.
“Every election, some party brings up these old cases. But today’s people don’t care,” said one local youth after the interview. “We want Wi-Fi, not warnings. Roads, not rumors.”
In a city growing fast but still battling infrastructure gaps, this shift could mark the end of old-school political fearmongering — and the rise of a development-driven political identity in Hyderabad’s urban wards.
