Sangareddy district Congress committee president T. Nirmala Reddy, former BRS MLA Ch. Madan Reddy, former MLA Mynampally Hanumanth Rao were also in the fray for the Congress ticket from Medak.

After wide-ranging discussions, the party leadership decided to field Neelam Madhu.
Neelam Madhu began his political career in the Telangana Rashtra Samithi. He became sarpanch of his native village of Chitkul in Patancheru Assembly constituency.
Earlier, the Congress had also considered Neelam Madhu as its MLA candidate for Patancheru Assembly constituency. However, Neelam Madhu contested the 2023 state elections on a BSP ticket. He got around 45,000 votes.
He again joined the Congress in February this year.
