In a surprising twist, BJP candidate Katipally Venkata Ramana Reddy has taken a commanding lead in the prestigious Kamareddy assembly seat in Telangana, edging ahead of both Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) and state Congress chief A Revanth Reddy.
Katipally, a 53-year-old businessman, has garnered 53,261 votes, establishing a clear advantage over KCR, who has secured 50,169 votes. Reddy, trailing in third place, has received 48,082 votes.
This unexpected development in Kamareddy has sent shockwaves through the political landscape of Telangana, challenging KCR’s stronghold in the region. The Kamareddy seat is considered a high-profile constituency, and KCR’s decision to contest from there had added significant weight to the race.

However, Katipally’s impressive showing has demonstrated the BJP’s growing influence in Telangana, particularly in the face of a strong Congress challenge. His lead suggests that the BJP’s strategy of focusing on local issues and connecting with voters has resonated with the electorate.
While KCR is still leading in Gajwel, his other constituency, the close race in Kamareddy raises questions about his dominance in Telangana. The outcome of this election will have far-reaching implications for the political dynamics of the state.
