After tasting defeat in the recent Assembly elections, all the three main contestants, including sitting MP Arvind Dharmapuri are testing their fortunes in Nizamabad Lok Sabha constituency.

Arvind, who proved a giant killer on his electoral debut in 2019 by defeating K Kavitha, daughter of then Chief Minister, KC Rao, is taking on seasoned politicians of the Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) this time.

With Kavitha staying away from the contest, the key Constituency in north Telangana is missing the bitter rivalry between her and Arvind this time.

The arrest of the former MP by the ED and the CBI in the Delhi excise policy case has come as a shock to the BRS. This has given an issue to both the BJP and Congress to attack BRS over corruption but BRS may try to gain sympathy by projecting Kavitha as a victim of the alleged ‘political conspiracy’ by the BJP.

The absence of Kavitha appears to have taken the fizz out of the contest as she had vowed to defeat Arvind from any constituency he contested from.

She claimed to have played a key role in Arvind’s defeat in Koratla Assembly constituency in the elections held on November 30, 2023. The BRS retained Koratla as Arvind lost to Kalvakuntla Sanjay by a margin of over 10,000 votes.

Koratla is one of the seven Assembly segments under Nizamabad parliamentary constituency. In the recent Assembly polls, the BRS won three Assembly seats while the Congress and BJP bagged two each.

A close three-cornered fight is likely for Nizamabad Lok Sabha seat between Arvind, Congress senior leader T Jeevan Reddy and BRS candidate Bajireddy Goverdhan.
