History has been unsatisfying for winning candidates in Miryalaguda, they had always been in the Opposition, no matter which party formed government.
Except T. Vijayasimha Reddy from Congress in 1989, the eight successfully elected between 1978 and 2014, completed their terms in the opposition. However, N. Bhaskar Rao who won on the Congress ticket in 2014 switched over to Telangana Rashtra Samithi and is its candidate for this election.
Congress has fielded BC leader R. Krishnaiah this time. Telugu Desam Party is the only party that never won an election here.
