Lok Sabha Election 2024: Malkajgiri constituency with highest voter count set for triangular contest

The Malkajgiri parliamentary constituency in Telangana is peculiar in more ways than one. Full coverage of Lok Sabha Election 2024 The parliamentary constituency was until recently represented by Telangana Congress Committee president and present chief minister A Revanth Reddy, but none the MLAs who represent seven assembly segments under it — Malkajgiri, Medchal, Quthbullapur, Kukatpally, Uppal, LB Nagar, and Secunderabad Cantonment — are from the Congress. None of the contestants representing three major political parties — Sunitha Mahender Reddy of the Congress, Eatala Rajender of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Ragidi Laxma Reddy of the BRS — hail from Malkajgiri; they are all non-locals. The BRS, who was struggling to find right candidates to fight the Lok Sabha elections, after its debacle in the assembly polls, forced Laxma Reddy to contest. The advantage for Laxma Reddy is that all the seven MLAs falling under Malkajgiri parliamentary constituency are from the BRS.
