Panchayati results ‘beginning of end of YSRCP’: TDP

Amaravati, Feb 11 : Telugu Desam Party (TDP) supremo and former Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu claimed that the ‘beginning of the end’ of Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) has arrived with the results of the panchayati elections.
He asserted that the TDP-aligned candidates posted impressive victories in the first phase of the four-phase panchayati elections.
According to a TDP source, the opposition party-aligned candidates won 1,005 sarpanch positions out of 2,723 by 1 a.m. on Wednesday, including nine in alliance with it, while the ruling YSRCP won 1,494 sarpanch positions.
In TDP’s calculations, the combination of Janasena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won just one sarpanch post.
“Party supported candidates posted impressive victories in the first phase panchayat elections by courageously fighting against the attacks, kidnappings, threats and atrocities committed by the ruling YSRCP with the connivance of official and police machinery,” claimed Naidu.
He claimed that people gave a mandate against the misrule and misdeeds of Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s regime in the past 20 months.
