Hyderabad: The city cannot find a new Mayor for the municipality after more than a week has passed since the results were announced. The absence of a clear decision of the voters to any of the parties has resulted in this situation.
K.T. Rama Rao had told after the election results, “We have a lot of time. We will discuss within the party and take a decision.”
