Going gets tough for the ruling party as pleas by MLCs to become ex-officio members rejected
Even as the TDP has won the majority of wards (18) in Tadipatri Municipality, leaving 16 wards to the YSRCP’s kitty, hectic political activities are on in both the camps to win the chairperson post.
The TDP is trying hard to keep its newly-elected council members together, while the YSRCP is leaving no stone unturned to seize the chairperson’s post through the votes of the ex-officio members.
The results are indication of what kind of outcome is expected next year in the civic body polls. We are waiting for it and will make the city neat and clean, Kejriwal said in an address at the AAP office on DDU Marg, where he reached to celebrate the victory with party workers.
