BJP emerged victorious in Dubbak bypoll and showed its mark in GHMC polls as well but in Hyderabad Graduate polls and Nagarjuna Sagar bypoll, the saffron party tasted defeat.
In the recently concluded Lingojiguda bypoll, Congress candidate D Rajshekar Reddy won by a margin of 1,200 votes over his nearest rival, Akhil Goud of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The bypoll was conducted to Lingojiguda ward on April 30th. The result was announced on Monday.
The sympathy wave didn t seem to have worked in favour of Akhil, the son of corporator elect Akula Ramesh Goud whose death necessitated the bypoll.
