Chevella Congress candidate Konda Visweswara Reddy's wife Sangita Reddy (who holds top executive post in corporate Apollo Hospitals) is busy campaigning for her husband. She is holding community meetings in the urban areas in the evenings and seeking the support from locals.

Sangita is also monitoring poll campaign in the rest of the segment by deploying special teams. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Secunderabad Lok Sabha segment G Kishan Reddy's wife Kavya is always active in resolving people's issues in Amberpet Assembly constituency, from where Reddy won for three consecutive terms but lost in 2018 Assembly elections.
