Bhupal Reddy won the seat for the first time in 2014.  Of the 1,98,234 votes, Mahareddy Bhupal Reddy bagged 93,076 and Patlolla Sanjeeva Reddy 39,451.

This time around, Bhupal Reddy is running for his second term against former MP Suresh Kumar Shetkar. This constituency has been a major stronghold of Congress for a long time. The erstwhile Medak district was seen as a fortress of the Congress for a fair length of time, barring a phase when the TDP made inroads into it. The TRS riding the Telangana sentiment, changed the political landscape of the entire region.

TRS has fielded Padma Devender Reddy once again from the constituency. The Mahakutami or grand alliance has fielded Janardhan Reddy from the Telangana Jana Samithi, Prof. Kodandaram's outfit. Telugu Desam party once held sway over the constituency, and won the seat on a majority of occasions, with Karnam Ramchandra Rao winning the seat four times. However, the party has now lost its sheen in most parts of Telangana, barring a few pockets.
