The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) continued its victorious march in Telangana by posting a resounding victory in the municipal elections in Khammam and Warangal municipal corporations and Achampet municipality in Mahbubnagar district on Wednesday.
According to the latest reports, the TRS won 44 out of 58 divisions in Warangal and in all probability, it will end up with 45 seats.
As many as eight independents (mostly TRS rebels) have also won, while the Congress has won three seats and Bharatiya Janata Party ended up with two seats.
In Khammam, the TRS captured 36 out of 50 seats, while the Congress could win eight, CPM four and YSR Congress party two seats. The Telugu Desam Party has drawn blank in both the Corporations.
In Achampet municipality, it was completely a one-sided affair. The TRS won all the 20 wards. The major Opposition parties – the Congress, the TDP and the BJP forgot their political differences and formed into a grand alliance to contest the civic polls, but they could not win even a single seat.
In a way, the TDP has virtually been wiped out in Telangana and the other Opposition parties have been reduced to nominal presence. The TRS juggernaut continues to roll on!
