The Congress party maintained its strong presence in districts like Nalgonda, Bhongir, Khammam, Mahabubabad, and Warangal during the recent Lok Sabha elections. The party secured significant victories in these areas, similar to its performance in the Assembly elections.
In Nalgonda, Kunduru Raghuveer Reddy won with a record-breaking majority of over 5.5 lakh votes. Meanwhile, in Khammam, Ramasahayam Raghuram Reddy emerged victorious with a majority of more than 4.5 lakh votes.
However, the party faced setbacks in surrounding constituencies like Hyderabad, Chevella, Malkajgiri, and Secunderabad. Despite focusing their efforts on districts like Mahbubnagar, Medak, Nizamabad, Adilabad, and Karimnagar, the Congress leadership could not secure victories in these areas.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy put in considerable effort into the Malkajgiri and Mahbubnagar constituencies but was unable to clinch victories there. The party also fielded turncoats in Chevella, Malkajgiri, and Hyderabad, who ultimately lost to BJP candidates.
Notable defeats for the Congress included Gaddam Ranjith Reddy in Chevella, Patnam Suneetha Mahender Reddy in Malkajgiri, and former Minister Danam Nagender in Secunderabad. The party also lost in Nizamabad and Karimnagar, where sitting MPs contested.
In Nagarkurnool, Mallu Ravi secured a second term with a majority of over 94,000 votes. Other successful SC candidates included Gaddam Vamsi Krishna from Peddapalli and Kadiyam Kavya from Warangal.
