Polling ends, Congress celebrates

Within minutes of the polling for the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation elections closed on Monday evening, the Congress party went into the celebrations mode.

At several places like Khairatabad, Jubilee Hills, Vanasthalipuram, Malakpet, L B Nagar and Himayatnagar, the Congress activists took out victory rallies, fired crackers and distributed sweets in anticipation of victory. In Khairatabad, minister Danam Nagender took out a big rally to celebrate the Congress victory.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the opposition parties is dull. The TDP leaders went into a silent mode. Apparently, they are disappointed with the poor turn out of voters in several divisions; so they have no confidence of capturing the GHMC. While Chiranjeevi’s Praja Rajyam Party has completely given up the hope, the BJP and the Lok Satta are hopeful of getting a few seats to protect their identity. At least, they have a reason to celebrate
