NDA wins large number of MPTC seats in Godavari region
Tension prevails as former MLA Jakkampudi Raja stages protest demanding recount of Korukonda ZPTC votes
After the counting of MPTC and ZPTC election results in East Godavari district on Saturday, tension erupted at the counting centre at Adikavi Nannaya University. Former MLA Jakkampudi Raja and supporters of the YSR Congress Party staged a dharna, demanding a recount of votes in the Korukonda ZPTC constituency. They felt aggrieved after the TDP candidate garnered a large lead in the fourth round of counting, while the YSRCP had secured a substantial majority in the first three rounds.
Mr. Raja and his supporters were subsequently arrested, prompting the resumption of the counting process. Meanwhile, counting of ZPTC votes proceeded across all counting centres in the Godavari region until 9 p.m., with police personnel on duty to maintain order and prevent any potential disturbances.
In the MPTC elections, the NDA alliance comprising the TDP and the Jana Sena Party emerged victorious in an overwhelming number of seats. The winning candidates were cautioned against organizing victory rallies to avert any untoward incidents in the Godavari region.
