A first time contestant in electoral politics, Dharmapuri Aravind of the BJP, became an instant stuff of his party folklore registering a win over Telangana Rashtra Samiti’s K Kavitha who was the sitting MP from Nizamabad constituency. Though his father and former Minister D Srinivas, who was a Congress man for a long time and joined TRS later, only to be practically thrown out of it, Aravind and his father both maintained that they worked independent of each other. A businessman and former cricketer who played a few Ranji Trophy matches for the Hyderabad team, Aravind is also a member of the Telangana State BJP’s State Executive Committee.
The 1976 born Aravind won over his nearest rival Kavitha by a margin of 71,057 votes. Both his win and the scale of the victory have reportedly left many in the TRS party aghast at the outcome of the election.
