Tension gripped Khammam after BRS and CPI (M) cadres staged a protest at the Edulapuram counting centre, accusing election officials of bias for refusing recount requests in wards where BRS candidates lost by narrow margins of five and eight votes.
A dramatic turn unfolded in Jogulamba Gadwal’s municipal elections when the BRS candidate Jayamma, initially declared winner in the eighth ward, lost by a single vote after a recount demanded by Congress candidate Venkatamma.
BRS president K Chandrashekhar Rao handed over the party B-form and Rs 40 lakh to Sunitha Gopinath for the Jubilee Hills bypoll. With polling on November 11, the party ramps up rallies, door-to-door outreach, and campaign efforts
However, with the party losing seven Assembly segments in the 2023 elections under the Mahabubnagar parliament constituency, it is now making moves carefully to retain the Parliament seat.
