In Nadigadda, the MLAs faced setbacks in the recent parliamentary elections. Six months ago, BRS won two assembly seats in Nadigadda. However, their influence decreased in the parliamentary elections. BJP made a significant comeback in the Gadwala constituency and rose to second place in the Alampur constituency.
In the Gadwal constituency’s assembly elections, BRS candidate Bandla Krishna Mohan Reddy got 94,097 votes, Congress candidate Sarita received 87,061 votes, and BJP candidate Baligera Siva Reddy secured 7,558 votes. In the parliamentary elections, BJP candidate Bharat Prasad got 78,869 votes, Congress candidate Mallu Ravi received 59,238 votes, and BRS candidate RS Praveen Kumar got 45,247 votes. BJP won with a majority of 19,631 votes in Gadwal.
In Nadigadda, there was a significant change in voter preferences. In the Alampur constituency’s last assembly election, BRS candidate Vijayudu got 104,060 votes, Congress candidate Sampath Kumar received 73,483 votes, and BJP candidate secured 4,711 votes. In the parliamentary elections, BJP candidate Bharat Prasad garnered 55,053 votes, Congress candidate Mallu Ravi got 59,790 votes, and BRS candidate RS Praveen Kumar received 53,466 votes.
The Congress moved to first place, BRS dropped to third place, and BJP climbed to second place in Nadigadda. BRS candidate RS Praveen Kumar faced a decline in his own constituency, Alampur. Despite winning the assembly elections with a substantial majority, he finished third in the parliamentary elections. This setback reflects broader challenges for the BRS party and its supporters.
