Fresh from his win in the Jubilee Hills bypoll, Naveen Yadav joins Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and senior leaders in meetings with Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi.

Newly elected Jubilee Hills MLA Naveen Yadav met the Congress high command in New Delhi on Saturday, a day after securing the party’s bypoll triumph over the BRS. Yadav, accompanied by Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Deputy CM Vikram Mallu, and other senior leaders, held separate discussions with Rahul Gandhi at 10 Janpath and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge at his residence.

The meetings were seen as a formal acknowledgment of the party’s significant win in Jubilee Hills—one of Hyderabad’s most high-profile constituencies—where Yadav’s victory marked a key political gain for the ruling Congress in Telangana.

Analysis:
The swift outreach to the central leadership underscores Jubilee Hills’ strategic importance to the Congress, especially as it looks to consolidate urban support. For Yadav, the Delhi visit signals his elevation within the party ranks, positioning him as a crucial face in the party’s next phase of organisational and electoral planning.
