The Hindu
Amid a tense atmosphere and unprecedented security for the election of the Tadipatri Municipal Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson, Telugu Desam Party candidates came out victorious on Thursday with former MLA J.C. Prabhakar Reddy elected as Chairman and P. Saraswati as Deputy Chairperson.
The fear of last-minute jumping of fences by ward members seemed so real that even in the Tadipatri Municipal Council Hall there was a high-rise ‘mesh’ barricading while the Dharmavaram Revenue Divisional Officer G.R. Madhusudhan administered the oath of office at a time commonly and later conducted the election process. While Mr. Prabhakar Reddy got 20 votes (18 elected ward members of TDP, one each of CPI and Independent) the YSR Congress Party candidate Heerapuram Fayaz Basha got 18 votes (including that of two ex-officio members). Similarly, the YSRCP had fielded Pula Rupa (who had won by toss) as Deputy Chairperson candidate against P. Saraswati (9th Ward). The TDP candidates were declared elected.
