HYDERABAD: While the difference in the percentage of votes secured in the GHMC elections between the Congress and the TDP was marginal, the presence of parties like the PRP and Lok Satta appears to have played spoilsport in the chances of the major opposition party in winning at least dozen more seats.

 

The Congress secured 28.17 per cent of the votes and the TDP 27.79 per cent. The MIM got 13.55 per cent of the total votes while the BJP secured 9.8 per cent. But both Lok Satta (5.54 per cent) and PRP (3.72 per cent) which cut into the votebank of the opposition to deprive TDP of a victory.

 

For instance, in Somajiguda division Congress nominee A Mahesh Yadav won the seat by just 62 votes over TDP candidate B Narsimha Reddy. While the Congress got 4295 votes, the TDP nominee secured 4233 votes. Lok Satta candidate D Ramchandra Rao got 1211 votes and spoiled the chances of the TDP.

 

In Gachibowli division, Congress candidate A Satyanarayana won the seat by a margin of 572 votes over the TDP candidate. The Lok Satta candidate lost his deposit by securing only 1,769 votes, but ensured the victory of the Congress.

 

In Defence colony, where repoll was conducted, Congress candidate Iype Mariamma won by 341 votes over TDP candidate Babitha Madhav Yadav. Here again, it was Lok Satta candidate Surya Chowdary who ruined TDP’s chances by polling 2198 votes.

 

In Kukatpally, which is represented by Lok Satta founder Jayaprakash Narayan, the fledgling party got only 1,683 votes but it was enough to ensure the victory of Congress candidate G Vengal Rao (7241 votes) over TDP nominee S Satyanarayana who secured 5838 votes. Here, the PRP candidate also chipped in with 1759 votes.

 

The TDP lost out in the Secunderabad area also due to the presence of Lok Satta and PRP. In Chilkalguda, the TDP’s B Madhavi lost by a margin of 139 votes to Congress candidate P Meera (5196 votes) by securing 5,057 votes. The Lok Satta candidate got 669 votes and the PRP nominee 1551 votes. PRP president Chiranjeevi had campaigned in this division.

 

Similarly in Mettuguda, the Congress won the seat by 623 votes. Here again, the presence of Lok Satta candidate Venkatesh (1,492 votes) helped Congress candidate M R Srinivas to secure the seat. Likewise, in Punjagutta division, Congress candidate B Raju Yadav secured the seat with a majority of 636 votes over TDP candidate A Narsimha Rao, thanks to the presence of the Lok Satta candidate (1,174 votes) and PRP (799 votes).

 

As expected and feared, both Lok Satta and PRP played spoilsport for the TDP. Because of the experience in the recent general and assembly elections, we told the electorate not to vote for these parties as it would only help the Congress. While it worked in some divisions, it did not in others,” TDP’s former mayor Teegala Krishna Reddy said. In the elections held in April this year, TDP suffered huge losses due to the presence of Lok Satta and PRP in several assembly constituencies.
