The Jubilee Hills by-election has ended with a powerful mandate for Congress candidate Naveen Yadav, marking one of the most talked-about political moments in recent Hyderabad politics. The public response captured on Telugu Vaadi TV shows both celebration and strong expectations from the newly elected MLA.
A Victory Built on Years of Public Service
Residents across Jubilee Hills say Naveen Yadav’s win was not a sudden wave but the result of more than a decade of consistent public service. His family has been known for helping people for years, and locals say he has always stood by the poor, middle-class families, and basti residents long before he entered a major party.
Though he had contested twice earlier—once as an Independent and once with AIMIM—he did not give up. Voters say his persistence, good character, and clean public image earned him the Congress ticket and, ultimately, the people’s trust.
Effective Ground-Level Campaigning
Locals shared that Naveen Yadav campaigned strategically by personally visiting every community, listening to their problems, and understanding what each area needed. This “filtering of the constituency,” as residents described it, helped him build deep trust with people across caste and economic groups.
Support from leaders like MLA BLR and legendary folk figure Gaddar also added strength to his campaign. Gaddar’s history of backing winning leaders—including Pawan Kalyan and Revanth Reddy—boosted confidence among undecided voters.
Jubilee Hills Looks Rich—But Ground Reality is Harsh
Despite being known as one of Hyderabad’s richest areas, Jubilee Hills contains many bastis where basic facilities are still poor. Public interviews highlighted several urgent issues they expect the new MLA to resolve immediately.
Garbage & Sanitation Need Immediate Action
Locals complained of overflowing garbage points and waste lying near homes and shops. Many said the unhygienic environment is causing fevers and infections, especially among children and elders. Cleaning divisions, stronger GHMC monitoring, and planned waste management are top demands.
Roads in Terrible Condition
Even though Jubilee Hills is an upscale area, several internal roads are filled with potholes and uneven surfaces. Residents said the bad roads damage vehicles and cause injuries. They stressed they want proper construction, not temporary patchwork that disappears with the next rain.
Drainage & Waterlogging Crisis
One of the biggest concerns raised was the severe waterlogging at Yousufguda Checkpost. During rains, water reportedly reaches waist level, trapping vehicles and endangering pedestrians. Locals demanded stormwater drain repairs, manhole safety, and complete pipeline restructuring.
Stray Dog Menace
Residents, including film industry workers who travel at night, complained of stray dog attacks. They want active sterilization drives, dog shelters, and safer night-time movement across slums and colonies.
Housing Support Through Indiramma Scheme
Many families living in bastis said rising rent has become unbearable. They expect the new MLA and Congress government to fulfil the promise of Indiramma houses and provide stable living conditions for poor families.
“We Want an After-Election MLA, Not a Before-Election MLA”
Residents repeatedly said they do not want a leader who disappears after winning. They want Naveen Yadav to be visible in the lanes, responding to people’s issues directly. Some even said the MLA should be the “heartbeat of the people,” available without bureaucratic hurdles.
The Road Ahead
While Naveen Yadav’s victory is being celebrated widely, the constituency is clear in its message: the celebrations are over, and the real work must begin immediately. Whether he rises to become a transformative MLA—or follows the pattern of leaders who fade away after elections—will be judged by his actions in the coming months.
