As Satyanarayana lost the floor test, the municipal authorities will soon hold a council meeting to elect the new chairman. With a majority of the councillors belonging to the BRS, the party is likely to win the post.

In the municipal elections, BRS (then TRS) had won nine wards and the Congress three. After Satyanarayana joined Congress two months ago, the BRS members moved the no confidence motion against him.

Following the directives of the then district collector Jithesh V Patil, municipal officials made arrangements to hold a special meeting on May 18. However, to protect his post, Satyanarayana resigned from the BRS and joined the Congress. Two BRS municipal councillors also joined the Congress along with Satyanarayana.
