For the ruling TRS in Telangana, the by-election for the Nagarjuna Sagar Assembly seat is another opportunity to change the political discourse about the BJP emerging as a doughty contender for power in the state for the next Assembly elections in 2023. The BJP’s win in the Dubbaka bypoll and its gains in the GHMC elections had led to the narrative that the TRS was on a downhill journey. The Telangana ruling party, which sensed the change in people’s perception, got its act together, and took sweet revenge on the BJP by defeating its incumbent MLC in the Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar graduates’ constituency and by cutting down to size the saffron party’s candidate in Warangal-Nalgonda-Khammam.
