The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emerged as a dominant force in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls, winning 49 seats in the 150-seat GHMC.
Although, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is the single-biggest celebration with 56 seats, it has fallen brief of majority.
The Asaduddin Owaisi-led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) continued its dominance in its standard stronghold of the old city of Hyderabad, winning a total of 43 seats.
Congress managed to win only two of the 146 seats the grand-old celebration contested.
Meanwhile, Minister of State for Home Affairs G Kishan Reddy mentioned the GHMC poll outcomes indicate that the saffron celebration “has blessings of the people to bring BJP govt in Telangana in 2023 elections”.
“TRS had 99 seats in Hyderabad, this has come down to 55 now. We had 4 seats and we have won 50 as of now. The number of seats of AIMIM has also gone down, the same goes for TRS. BJP has today emerged as a strong party,” Reddy mentioned just before the final count.
“Today’s results indicate that we have blessings of the people in our efforts to bring BJP govt in Telangana in 2023 elections. TRS has failed, people are against their dynasty rule & corruption. People have paved a way for a BJP govt in Telangana, in the days to come,” he added.
