After nearly a decade of domination, the clout of the Bothsa family in Vizianagaram ended with resounding slaps on their faces.
While Bothsa Sathyanarayana himself lost from Cheepurapalli constituency, his wife, Bothsa Jhansi lost the Lok Sabha election from Bobbili.
His brother, Appala Narasayya lost from Gajapathinagaram Assembly constituency and his nephew, Appala Naidu lost from Nellimerla constituency.
The peaceful town of Vizianagaram witnessed unprecedented violence and curfew was imposed after Bothsa turned traitor to the Samaikhyandhra cause.
The anger of the people has now been expressed through the ballot. Having been deprived of the post of PCC Chief also for Seemandhra, the political future of Bothsa who only a year back was dreaming of becoming the Chief Minister of Seemandhra by supporting Telangana, seems very bleak indeed.
