YSRC supporters celebrating party's victory in municipal polls.
AMARAVATI: It was a virtual Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YSRC) tsunami in Andhra Pradesh urban civic bodies as the party captured nearly all municipal corporations for which results were declared on Sunday.
YSRC’s victories particularly in Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Guntur cities were a big setback to the principal opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP). The ruling party had left the rival parties including the TDP shell-shocked by winning 11 out of 11 municipal corporations and 69 of the 71 municipal towns.
The TDP’s score could not even touch the double digit in many towns. Although, TDP won majority wards in Tadipatri and Mydukur, YSRC is likely to bag the chairperson posts even in these two towns with the help of ex-officio votes leaving no urban area under TDP rule.
