In the recent Telangana Legislative Council (MLC) elections held on February 27, 2025, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) achieved significant success by winning two out of three contested seats, delivering a notable setback to the incumbent Congress party.
In the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Graduates’ constituency, BJP-backed candidate Chinnamail Anji Reddy defeated Congress’s V. Narender Reddy by over 5,000 votes. The counting process was prolonged due to the preferential voting system, with Anji Reddy securing the win after multiple elimination rounds.
Additionally, BJP-backed Malka Komaraiah won the Medak-Karimnagar-Adilabad-Nizamabad Teachers’ constituency, defeating his nearest rival, Vanga Mahender Reddy, by a margin of 5,777 first-preference votes.
The third seat, representing the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Teachers’ constituency, was secured by independent candidate Sripal Reddy Pingili, who is affiliated with the Progressive Recognised Teachers’ Union (PRTU).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his gratitude towards the people of Telangana for their support and congratulated the BJP’s newly elected candidates. He also commended the party workers for their diligent efforts among the populace.

Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy highlighted the significance of this victory, stating that it reflects the party’s growing stronghold in the state. He emphasized that despite Congress deploying all its ministers, MLAs, MPs, and investing heavily, they could not retain the Karimnagar Graduate seat. Reddy noted that this outcome sends a strong message to Congress, which came to power by making false promises to the people.
