Khairatabad By-Election Buzz After Danam Nagender Remarks
- Khairatabad by-election speculation amid defection debate
- Khairatabad by-election talk grows as Danam backs Congress
The possibility of a Khairatabad by-election has moved to the centre of Telangana politics after fresh comments by MLA Danam Nagender. The remarks come amid renewed debate over party defections in the State. Danam Nagender, who won the Khairatabad seat on a BRS ticket and later joined the Congress, addressed the issue directly and signalled readiness for any political outcome.
Speaking on Wednesday, Danam Nagender clarified his political position without ambiguity. He said, “I don’t know which party the other MLAs are in, but I am clearly in the Congress party.” With this statement, he made it clear that he stands firm by his decision to join the Congress. Meanwhile, discussions continue around the disqualification petition filed against him, which is currently under hearing before the Speaker.
The Khairatabad by-election question gained strength after Danam appeared open to facing the people again. While there is a campaign suggesting that he may be disqualified, Danam has indicated that he is not stepping back from the challenge. He expressed strong confidence in his political standing and public support. “Whichever party I am in, that party will win. I will always have the blessings of the people,” he said, underlining his belief in electoral success.
Danam also outlined his political goals in the coming months. He stated that his aim is to hoist the Congress flag in the upcoming Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections. He revealed that he plans to personally campaign in 300 divisions across the city. He said he would take the schemes of the Congress government directly to the people. Therefore, his focus appears to extend beyond Khairatabad to the wider GHMC political arena.
Meanwhile, political observers are closely watching the developments around his disqualification case. Some experts believe that since Danam Nagender contested from Secunderabad on behalf of the Congress in the last parliamentary elections, there is a strong possibility of technical disqualification. Analysts also feel that his latest comments aim to boost confidence among party cadres. If a Khairatabad by-election takes place, it is expected to witness an intense contest between the Congress and the BRS, further heating up Telangana politics.
