VOTE IS FOR TELANGANA-11/11 For TRS;DS Loses To BJP Again In Nizamabad Urban

Kalvakuntla Chandrasekhar Rao has every reason to smile.The Telangana agitation spearheaded by his TRS received an overwhelming endorsement when his party swept to an epochmaking victory in 11 seats, while his new political ally BJP won the Nizamabad Urban constituency. As Rosaiahs Congress and Chandrababu Naidus TDP lick their wounds given the drubbing they received in the bypolls, results of which were announced on Friday,it has emerged doubly clear that the nearly four crore populace of the region would settle for nothing less than a Telangana state. While the impressive win of TRS would further enhance KCRs standing in the region as a satrap championing the T-cause,both Congress and TDP have much to ponder over.Its a victory of Telangana martyrs who died during the agitation for separate T state and four crore Telangana people, KCR said at a press conference on Friday evening.
Rao said the Centre should call for the Srikrishna Committee report immediately and bifurcate the state,respecting the verdict of the people before December 31.It is nothing but a referendum.If they fail,they will have to pay a heavy price in future, the TRS leader said.

The ruling Congress suffered a major setback with party state unit president D Srinivas losing the Nizamabad Urban seat by 11,981 votes to BJPs Yendala Lakshminarayana.While DS was smarting under a second successive defeat in more than a year,TRS candidates scored impressive victories in Siddipet,Dharmapuri,Vemulawada,Chennur,Mancherial and Sirpur seats.KCRs nephew and TRS candidate Tanneeru Harish Rao coasted to victory in Siddipet by a margin of 95,858 votes,while Ch Ramesh emerged victorious in Vemulawada by a big margin of 50,443 votes.

Meanwhile,TRS established an unassailable lead over its main rival the Congress in the remaining four constituencies when reports last came in.TRS Yellareddy candidate Enugula Ravinder Reddy was leading by 27,471 votes and K Vidyasagar Rao (Korutla) by 45,895 in the seventh round of counting.Similary,Sircilla candidate K T Rama Rao was leading by 44,642 votes while Eetela Rajender of Huzurabad was leading by 39,927 votes in the fifth round.
