However, the BJP was yet to announce its candidate while the Congress and the BRS candidates, Naveen Yadav and Maganti Sunitha, have already started campaigning in the constituency.
After videos and photographs of the Congress leader distributing voter identity cards among the constituents in Madhuranagar surfaced on social media, BJP MP M Raghunandan Rao approached the ECI with a complaint against him.
Azharuddin, who lost from the same seat during the Assembly elections in 2023, had, on his own, announced his candidature from Jubilee Hills, but the chief minister seemed reluctant to renominate him once again.
Even as the Election Commission of India (ECI) is yet to formally notify byelection, former cricketer and Congress leader Md Azharuddin declared himself party candidate for the bypoll for the Jubilee Hills constituency.
