AP: TRS camp celebrate by-polls win in Telangana Bhavan

Hyderabad, Mar 21: Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leaders and a large number of enthusiastic workers celebrated the victory on four of the five seats it contested in by-polls with crackers and sweets at Telangana Bhavan, the Party headquarters on Wednesday, Mar 21.

The crucial elections were held in Station Ghanpur, Kamareddy, Adilabad, Kollapur, Nagarkurnool, Kovur and Mehabubnagar, six of which are in Telangana region.

However, Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) led Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) defeat in Mehabubnagar by a narrow margin of 1,865 votes at the hands of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

The victory of BJP in Mahabubnagar constituency is seen as an huge embarrassment for TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao as he refused to let the saffron party contest the poll though both are partners in the Telangana political Joint Action Committee (JAC).

Meanwhile, with these victories, the strength of TRS in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly goes upto 16 and will give more boost to TRP to intensify their campaign for separate state.
