TDP closer to obscurity after 2nd phase poll drubbing: YSRCP

Amaravati, Feb 15 : Andhra Pradesh Municipal Administration Minister and YSRCP leader Botcha Satyanarayana has claimed that opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) is one step closer to obscurity after the recent ‘drubbing’ in the second phase of the panchayat elections.
“The TDP has lost its relevance in Andhra Pradesh and the polls prove the same,” claimed Satyanarayana.
The TDP made light of the claim and said that after the second phase of counting, the TDP had won over 37 per cent of the panchayats.
According to the ruling YSRCP’s leaders, even the loyalists of senior TDP leaders such as Ayyannapatrudu have failed to secure presentable results in their constituencies.
Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) leaders claimed that the TDP managed to win only 26 of the 101 panchayats in Ayyannapatrudu’s constituency, compared with YSRCP’s 73 victories.
In Icchapuram constituency of TDP MLA B Ashok, the TDP allegedly won just 11 of the 98 panchayats while the ruling party bagged 83 sarpanch posts.
