Surveys Paint Conflicting Pictures in Jubilee Hills Bypoll Battle — Hyderabad, November 4

Hyderabad: The high-stakes Jubilee Hills bypoll has turned into a contest not just for votes but for narrative dominance, as rival surveys paint sharply contrasting pictures of the electoral mood.

The political battlefield is divided between two surveys — the KK Survey, which indicates that the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) is regaining lost ground, and the Lok Poll Survey, which gives the Congress a comfortable lead.

This duel of data has added a new dimension to the campaign, fueling morale within both camps while leaving voters guessing which way the wind is actually blowing.

With polling day fast approaching, the bypoll has evolved into a prestige contest for all major parties. Fiery speeches, social media offensives, and verbal duels among leaders have turned the Jubilee Hills election into a test of strength, strategy, and perception.

According to the latest KK Surveys and Strategies report, the BRS candidate is locked in a tight race but enjoys a slight edge, a finding that has visibly energized the party’s cadre. The pink party has seized on the survey results, flooding social media with posts celebrating the perceived momentum shift.

In contrast, the Lok Poll Survey offers a rosier picture for the ruling Congress, projecting a clear lead for the party’s candidate. Party insiders say the survey attributes the advantage to Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s popularity and the government’s recent welfare schemes in the constituency.

As the campaign enters its final stretch, both parties are doubling down on door-to-door outreach and targeted messaging, hoping to convert perception into votes. For now, Jubilee Hills remains a battleground not just of ballots — but of belief.

By Sunil Mungara

Hyderabad:
Voters in the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency heading to the polls on November 11 will be able to safely deposit their mobile phones before entering polling stations. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Election Wing is setting up secure mobile phone deposit centres outside all polling stations, in line with Election Commission of India (ECI) guidelines.

The facility aims to assist voters, particularly senior citizens and women, ensuring convenience and security on polling day.

A senior GHMC official deputed for the bypoll said that voters must switch off their mobile phones before entering the polling station and hand them over to volunteers stationed at the mobile phone deposit counters.

Voters will receive a token in exchange for their phone, which they can use to reclaim it after casting their vote and exiting the polling station.

The GHMC has assured that adequate staff and security measures will be in place to manage the process smoothly and prevent any inconvenience to the public.

The initiative is part of the civic body’s broader efforts to ensure a transparent, orderly, and voter-friendly polling experience in Jubilee Hills during the by-election.

Apple to double Air Pods production in India as Foxconn expands Hyderabad plant

Foxconn’s expansion of its Hyderabad facility and the plan to double AirPods production is a key part of Apple’s strategy to reduce its reliance on China and strengthen its manufacturing base in India. The investment is a direct response to global supply chain challenges, geopolitical risks, and Apple’s push to diversify its production footprint.

By early 2026, the Hyderabad facility is set to double its output, increasing AirPods production from 100,000 units per month to 200,000. This move will not only boost Apple’s capacity but also solidify India’s growing role in its global supply chain. Foxconn is even transferring advanced machinery from its Vietnam plants to support this ramp-up, with the company planning to retool five production lines for future AirPods models.

The expansion isn’t just about scaling up; it also means adding around 3,000 new jobs, growing the workforce from 2,000 to 5,000. This aligns with Apple’s broader vision to turn India into a key manufacturing hub for not only AirPods but also accessories and components for other brands.

Apple’s commitment to India has grown steadily over the years, with the country now playing a significant role in its production of products beyond iPhones, such as AirPods and other accessories. The investment also helps Apple mitigate risks tied to supply chain disruptions—like earlier this year, when China’s export restrictions on rare earth minerals temporarily impacted AirPods production.

This expansion in Hyderabad is part of a larger effort to turn India into a major audio manufacturing hub, and it complements another initiative in Tamil Nadu, where Jabil is building a new facility to produce AirPods cases. With this growing capacity, India’s position in Apple’s global supply chain is only set to increase.

In the long term, the move to India isn’t just about short-term production needs but a strategic shift to reduce Apple’s dependency on China. What do you think this means for India’s tech industry in the coming years?

Millet Mothers to serve sustainable livelihoods for women in Hyderabad

Hyderabad is set to launch an innovative initiative aimed at promoting health and wellness in the corporate world. The Millets National Media Portal, as part of its national mission “One Millet Meal Every Day for Every Individual,” has rolled out a program that connects corporate offices with trained Millet Mothers, who will provide freshly prepared, nutritious millet-based lunches to employees.

This move follows the success of the Millet Mothers Program, a collaboration between the Millets National Media Portal and MBF (Millets – The Best Food). Under this program, 100 Millet Mothers in Hyderabad have been trained in over 20 millet-based recipes that meet international standards for taste, nutrition, and quality. The training was led by National Millet Coach Pooja Lakhotia, with support from experts like Dr. Monica Sravanti, Dr. Giridhar, and Millet Mothers Coordinator Madhuri.

The official launch took place at Essjay Fortune Community Hall in Begumpet, Hyderabad, with Prasanna Srinivasa Sarakadam, Chairman of MBF, highlighting the dual goals of the program: improving employee wellness and empowering women. “When employees eat nutritious food, their productivity increases. They think better, work better, and live better. Our Millet Mothers initiative ensures that every meal not only nourishes the body but also empowers the women preparing it,” Sarakadam said.

The Millet Lunch Program is now open to corporate partnerships across Hyderabad, catering to companies of all sizes—small, medium, and large. The program offers freshly cooked, easy-to-digest millet-based meals that promote both mental and physical well-being. Actress Laya, the brand ambassador for the Millet Mothers initiative, emphasized the program’s commitment to healthy living and women’s empowerment, pointing out that millets are not only good for health but also support grassroots economic development by creating income opportunities for women.

This initiative is a win-win for both employees and the community, combining better health with social impact.

Jubilee Hills by-election: Kamma community extends support to Congress

Hyderabad, Oct 28:
In a major boost to the ruling Congress party ahead of the upcoming Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election, members of the Kamma community have announced their full support to the party.

Leaders from the community, which holds a strong social and economic presence in areas like Ameerpet, Kukatpally, and Serilingampally, met Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday and conveyed their support, while also placing a few demands before the government.

During the meeting, the community leaders urged the CM to install a statue of legendary actor and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. T. Rama Rao at Maitri Vanam in Ameerpet. They also appealed to the government to provide due representation to the community in nominated posts.

According to a press release from the Chief Minister’s Office, the Kamma community assured that the Congress candidate Naveen Yadav would win the Jubilee Hills by-election with a huge majority.

The by-election, necessitated by the demise of former BRS MLA Maganti Gopinath, is expected to be a high-stakes contest for the ruling Congress, which failed to win any seat in the Greater Hyderabad area in the 2023 Assembly elections.

While the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) has fielded Maganti Gopinath’s wife as its candidate, the BJP has once again given its ticket to Lankala Deepak Reddy, who had contested unsuccessfully in 2023. Political analysts expect a triangular fight between the Congress, BRS, and BJP this time.

In the 2023 Assembly polls, Gopinath secured 80,549 votes, followed by Congress’ Mohd. Azharuddin with 64,212 votes, and BJP’s Deepak Reddy with over 25,000 votes. AIMIM’s candidate Rasheed Farazuddin finished fourth with 7,848 votes.

The bypoll outcome is seen as a litmus test for the Congress government, as it aims to strengthen its urban base in Hyderabad ahead of future elections.

Training held for poll officers ahead of Jubilee Hills by-election

Hyderabad, Oct 29
In preparation for the upcoming Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election, the Hyderabad District Election Officer (DEO) and GHMC Commissioner R V Karnan emphasised the crucial role of Presiding Officers (POs) and Assistant Presiding Officers (APOs) in ensuring a free, fair and transparent polling process.

Addressing officials at a training session held at G. Narayanamma Institute of Technology and Science, Shaikpet, Karnan said all polling staff must have a clear understanding of their duties and responsibilities and should discharge them with complete neutrality and integrity.

Nearly 500 officials attended the session conducted in two batches. The training included hands-on demonstrations on the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)—Ballot Units (BUs), Control Units (CUs), and VVPAT systems.

The DEO instructed that each polling station would be equipped with four BUs, one CU and one VVPAT, given that 59 candidates, including NOTA, are contesting in the by-poll. He urged officers to thoroughly study the Presiding Officer’s Handbook issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) and prepare checklists for polling-day activities, including verification of materials, voter lists and machines.

Election Police Observer Om Prakash Tripathi and Expenditure Observer Sanjeev Kumar Lal inspected the training and advised officials to adhere strictly to ECI guidelines to maintain transparency and credibility in the electoral process.
