The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi led by K Chandrasekhar Rao and KTR made a clean sweep in the biennial elections to six seats of the Legislative Council from local authority constituencies.
The counting of votes for the elections held on December 10 was taken up on Tuesday and the process was completed in a couple of hours.
All six candidates of the TRS were elected with a comfortable margin in first preferential votes, dashing the hopes of some independent candidates supported by opposition parties. The BJP candidate who was a rebel from the TRS lost the election.
The TRS could manage the show in a perfect fashion by taking them to Goa and Tirupathi. Election Commission had last month issued notification for election to six seats of the Council from local authority constituencies.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter K. Kavitha and five other candidates of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) were declared elected unanimously.
Kavitha was elected from the Nizamabad constituency. The others who were elected to the upper house of the state legislature are Patnam Mahender Reddy, Shambipur Raju both from Rangareddy.
