The Tirupati Municipal Corporation is one of the key Municipalities in the recently held Civic body polls in Andhra Pradesh. The vote counting has started today and the Election Commission announced the results.
The Ruling YSRCP recorded a landslide victory in the municipal corporation of Tirupati (MCT) polls, by winning 48 out of the 50 divisions in the Corporation. However, the election was halted in one division going by the court orders.
The Political observers opined that the Tirupati Municipal polls will be a two-faced battle. Proving their analysis wrong, YSRCP won 48 and restricted the opposition TDP to one division. The other parties failed to win at least a single division.
YSRCP dominance in the Municipality polls shows the stronghold of YSRCP Tirupati MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy over the region. His son Bhumana Abhinay Reddy, who contested from the fourth ward of the corporation was given the responsibility of polls.
Bhumana Abhinay Reddy was elected unanimously from the ward he contested. The ruling YSRCP has claimed 22 Divisions unanimously. The election result shows the young blood in the party has also gained the trust of the voters.
MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy spoke to the media after the election result and credited the welfare schemes implemented by Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for the party’s victory in civic body polls.
The vote-counting process was started today. The election results were announced in just three hours with a low vote percent. Tirupati Municipal Corporation clocked 52 vote percentage.
