Congress sees brighter side of its loss in MLC polls

‘People want this undemocratic govt. to go’

After the humiliating performance in Huzurabad bypoll, Congress has something to cheer about in the elections to the Legislative Council from local bodies constituency despite losing with huge margins in the two districts where it contested.

It has not only retained its votes but was able to garner more than its strength, which is quite an achievement in the given circumstances where the ruling party has been brutal on the opposition ensuring their strength reduced constantly through various methods.

In Khammam district, CLP leader Bhatti Vikramarka made a huge difference with his commitment securing 242 votes for the Congress candidate though its strength was just 96. Mr. Vikaramarka said the polling reflects the unrest among people’s representatives who voted in favour of the Congress despite the TRS camp politics.
