Huzurabad: Soon after issuing the notification of the Election Commission, the political campaign has intensified in Huzurabad assembly constituency. The ruling TRS deployed ministers T Harish Rao, Gangula Kamalakar and Koppula Easwar to woo the masses. BJP candidate Eatala Rajender, who served as an MLA for six terms, has been busy with padyatras, review meetings and paying regular visits to the constituency ever since he resigned from his post. BJP leaders are making a strategy to win the elections.

The ruling TRS lured many leaders from the major social classes of the constituency to join the TRS party. As part of this, L Ramana of the Padmashali community and Pedireddy of the Reddy community, Kaushik Reddy, a former minister, were inducted into the TRS. Kuashik Reddy was nominated for the MLC post and local TRS leader Banda Srinivas, a Dalit, was made the chairman of the SC corporation, while Vakulabaranam Krishna Mohan, a BC leader, was made the chairman of the BC commission.

TRS announced Dalit Bandhu scheme in Huzurabad as a pilot project and allocated Rs 2,000 crore under this scheme to gain Dalit votes. Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao announced student activist Gelu Srinivas Yadav as the TRS candidate. Meanwhile, BJP state president Bandi Sanjay Kumar, who took out Praja Sangram Yatra, has planned to organize a huge public meeting in October at Hussainabad near Huzurabad in view of the model code of conduct. However, the Congress party is yet to announce its candidate for the by-election. Since this is the party's first election under the leadership of TPCC chief A Revanth Reddy, all eyes are now on the Congress.
