Goa, Nov. 13 -- The Jubilee Hills bypoll, seen as a major political test in Hyderabad, will decide the fortunes of the Congress, BRS, and BJP. Counting begins Friday morning at Kotla Vijayabhaskar Reddy Indoor Stadium, with over 1.94 lakh votes cast. The Congress has fielded Naveen Yadav, supported by AIMIM, while the BRS's Maganti Sunitha and BJP's Lankala Deepak Reddy complete the triangular contest. For Congress, a win would affirm voter trust; for BRS, it's a chance to revive influence after setbacks; and for BJP, an opportunity to strengthen its urban foothold. Security is tight under Section 144, and results are expected by evening.
