With the Jubilee Hills by-election campaign gaining momentum, political leaders have found a novel way to reach out to voters, by joining morning walkers in parks and public spaces.
Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, TPCC president Mahesh Kumar Goud, and Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar were among the prominent leaders who met morning walkers on Sunday (November 2, 2025), using the opportunity to explain their respective parties’ agendas and seek support for their candidates.

Meanwhile, BRS local leaders and MLAs, who have been assigned responsibilities for various divisions, for the poll campaign, also hit the roads early in the morning to interact with walkers and residents.
These impromptu and informal meetings have drawn a large number of walkers, who are engaging in lively conversations with political leaders. “This is a cost-effective and people-friendly outreach method, allowing us to connect with citizens without organising large gatherings or spending,” explains Mr. Ponnam Prabhakar, who is known to have such informal meetings even in his constituency on a regular basis.
