While Congress won two seats Narsapuram and Ramachandrapuram, TRS won Parakala, the lone seat that went to polls in the Telangana region. TDP was totally washed out. Thota Trimurtulu of Congress has won the Ramachandrapuram seat defeating former minister Pilli Subhashchandra Bose, while Kottapalli Subbarayudu who was defeated as the PRP candidate in 2009 was now elected as Congress candidate in Narsapuram.
Though TRS has won the Parakala seat, it was only a technical victory and not a moral victory as the party’s Bhikshapati has won the seat only with 800 votes margin over YSR Congress party’s Konda Surekha. Even TRS leaders who claimed the party would win with a majority of 50,000 votes were stunned at the slender margin. Fortunes kept changing between Surekha and Bhikshapati from round to round. As teams in 20 - 20 cricket win with the last ball, TRS won the seat in the last 19th round of counting.
YSR Congress has won Narasannapet, Payakaraopeta, Polavaram, Prattipadu, Macharla, Ongole, Udayagiri, Tirupati, Anantapur Urban, Rayadurgam, Yemmiganur, Allagadda, Rajampet, Rayachoti and Railway Koduru constituencies. Congress has lost deposits in Macharla and Prattipadu constituencies. The TDP which could not get a single seat, has however given a good fight in Macharla, Prattipadu and Ongole constituencies.
There were tense contests between Congress and YSR Congress in Ramachandrapuram, Tirupati, Udayagiri and Narasannapet constituencies as fortune kept changing sides as counting progressed. At one time the victory of YSRC candidates Dharmana Krishna Das in Narasannapet and Bhumana Karunakara Reddy in Tirupati looked doubtful. However both of them won.
In Ramachandrapuram, YSRC candidate Pilli Subhash Chandra Bose initially established majority over Thota Trimurtulu of Congress. However, Trimurtulu came from behind later and won the seat.
With these victories, the strength of the YSR Congress will increase to 15 in the Assembly and 2 in the Lok Sabha. The party which initially had only one seat – Pulivendula won by Y S Vijayamma got one more member when Nallapureddy Srinivasa Reddy resigned from the assembly and TDP to get elected from Kovuru as the YSR Congress member. Likewise, Jagan was the lone member in Lok Sabha. Now he is joined by Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy. Now two parties of AP TRS and YSR Congress have two members each in the Lok Sabha. With these victories, YSR Congress also will have a good say in the ensuing Presidential elections.
