Double delight for BJP in Telangana

From a win in just one Assembly seat of the 118 constituencies it contested for the Telangana Legislature in December last, to winning four Lok Sabha seats and trouncing the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) in its bastions in the Lok Sabha elections in just four months marks a spectacular performance by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).kav
And, the giant-killing defeat inflicted on Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s daughter K. Kavita in Nizamabad by first-timer D. Aravind was the icing on the cake. Boisterous celebrations broke out at the State BJP office in Nampally here, only a few hundred yards from the desolate Congress headquarters of Gandhi Bhavan.
It was a double delight for the party as it was, in any case, ready to celebrate the victory of the NDA at the Centre. Just a day before the results, senior partymen were confident of retaining just Secunderabad constituency, which was won by senior leader and former Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya in 2014 and being represented by G. Kishan Reddy this time.
