Etala Rajender Wins Huzurabad By-Poll

Sentiment and sympathy have the upper hand in the Huzurabad by-poll as BJP candidate Etala Rajender won the battle and the ruling TRS lost it.

The BJP leaders in Hyderabad prayed at gun Park and celebrated Rajender victory by distributing sweets. They claimed that the victory is a sign that the BJP will win in the 2023 polls. It reflected the pulse of the voters who came in support of Etela Rajender,
A few minutes before getting the victory certificate from the district officials, Etela Jamuna offered Tilakam to her husband Etela Rajender on winning the bypoll with a huge majority.

Thus continuous campaigns by Ministers Harish Rao, Kamalakar, Eshwar, and others failed to woo the voters who supported Rajender of the BJP. The TRS failed to lead in the polls with Gellu Srinivas Srinivas Yadav’s poor performance in his own village and nearby villages too.
