NDA continues its winning streak, set to crush YSRCP in ZPTC and MPTC elections as well
The TDP-led coalition is far ahead in the race, winning in over 320 ZPTCs, including 77 that have been declared as unanimously elected, and leading in nearly 100 others; a similar picture is unfolding in 7,767 MPTCs; in major setback to YSRCP chief Jagan, the TDP wins Pulivendula ZPTC too
Roads and Buildings Minister B.C. Janardhan Reddy has asserted that the MPTC and ZPTC elections have demonstrated the Andhra Pradesh populace's preference for development and welfare-focused governance. In a statement following the announcement of the election results on Thursday, Reddy urged YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to accept the people's mandate.
He pointed out that the alliance candidates secured victories across the state, including in Rayalaseema, despite it being traditionally perceived as a stronghold for the YSRCP. Reddy further contended that the results erode the trust of the people in the YSRCP and accused Jagan Mohan Reddy of making unfounded claims about the elections.
The minister emphasized that the public yearns for the development-oriented and welfare-focused governance offered by the current alliance government, headed by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan, and IT Minister Nara Lokesh. "The local body election outcomes vividly illustrate that the people are endorsing development, welfare, and good governance," Reddy remarked, expressing optimism that the public will deliver a similar verdict in the upcoming panchayat elections.
