TRS wins ‘Banswada’ by-poll

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Monday won the by-election to the Banswada assembly seat with a huge majority of nearly 50,000 votes. 

Riding on the demand for a separate Telangana, TRS wrested the seat from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), which bagged the seat in the 2009 elections but did not take part this time in view of the Telangana sentiment. 

P Srinivas Reddy, the TDP winner of 2009, was re-elected, this time as the TRS candidate, by 49,989 votes, against his nearest rival S Srinivas Goud of the ruling Congress. Of the 122,872 votes polled, Srinivas Reddy secured 83,245 votes while the Congress candidate got 33,256 votes.


With this win, TRS increased its tally in the Andhra Pradesh assembly to 12. Srinivas Reddy alleged that the TDP had appealed to people to vote for the Congress. Over 77 percent of 1.60 lakh eligible voters voted in the October 13 battle. The election in Nizamabad district was caused by the resignation of Srinivas Reddy, who quit TDP to join TRS to fight for a separate Telangana state.

Though there were six candidates in the fray, it was a direct fight between Srinivas Reddy and Srinivas Goud. The by-poll was held at a time when a general strike has been on in the region for one month.
