YSRCP breaches Naidu’s bastion
The Hindu
The ruling party wins 19 of the 25-ward Kuppam Municipality
The ruling YSRCP has won the maiden election to the Kuppam Municipality by bagging 19 of the 25 wards in the civic body, causing severe embarrassment to TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, who has been representing the Kuppam constituency in the Assembly since 1989.
Though municipal elections are held elsewhere in the State, the prime focus of the ruling party has been on Kuppam.
Amidst heavy police bandobust, the counting of votes began at the Government Degree College in the town on Wednesday.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
