Unethical BJP-Cong alliance drubbed in Karimnagar: Gangula
TRS activists celebrated the party candidates’ victory in the elections of both the Karimnagar Local Authorities Constituencies. Rejoiced over the victory of the party candidates T Bhanu Prasad Rao and L Ramana, TRS leaders and workers bursted crackers and dancing to the tunes of drumbeats across the erstwhile Karimnagar district.
TRS activists led by BC Welfare and Civil Supplies Minister Gangula Kamalakar participated in celebrations held in Karimnagar town. Later, speaking to reporters at SRR College counting center, Kamalakar thanked ZPTCs, MPTCs, Corporators, and Councilors for electing party candidates by giving first priority votes. It was once again proved that TRS leaders and cadre remained united.
Though the party has 986 votes in local bodies, 78 additional votes were polled to TRS candidates in the polling. Public representatives belonging to other political parties have also exercised their votes to TRS aspirants.
Talking about the independent candidate, S Ravinder Singh, the Minister said both the BJP and Congress parties indirectly supported the former. Though both the parties have 324 votes, their candidate got only 232 votes. Surprisingly, all the voters of BJP and Congress have not cast their votes for their joint candidate.
