It’s BRS in CESS polls.

The people of Telangana have sent out a clear signal that they continue to repose their confidence in the leadership of CM K Chandrashekhar Rao. The state accorded a resounding victory to all the 15 candidates supported by the BRS (Bharat Rashtra Samithi) in the elections held by the Cooperative Electric Supply Society (CESS) here on Monday.

The candidates supported by the BRS swept the polls when they won all 15 director posts in 1 of the oldest cooperative societies in India, and the candidates backed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) received a humiliating defeat.

This was the first election after the BRS came into existence. Incidentally, all the 13 mandals that went to polls fall in the Karimnagar parliamentary constituency represented by the BJP State president Bandi Sanjay.

Of the 87,130 voters, 84% exercised their franchise, as many as 75 candidates were in the fray, and BJP supported candidates in all the seats.

However results of 14 seats, the BRS established its supremacy, the last seat, which of Vemulawada rural, was bagged by the BRS in a nail-biting finish. With the CESS elections being the first polls for BRS, party-working president KT Rama Rao left nothing to chance.
