Hyderabad, Oct 2 (Hydnow): It will be a challenge for the ruling BRS headed by Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao to emulate the 2018 assembly election results in the constituencies under the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits with several issues like the exit of party leaders, internal fights and anti-incumbency.
there are 24 constituencies under GHMC. The BRS has representation in the majority of these segments. The party has representation in six segments in the Secunderabad Lok Sabha seat, all seven in Malkajgiri LS and four in the Chevelle LS under the GHMC.
In the 2014 elections, the BRS had only two seats, including Secunderabad and Malkajgiri. However, there has been a big change in the situation after the 2018 Assembly polls. The party had faced a jolt during the municipal elections winning 56 seats, it had to take MIM support to stake claim over the corporation. Later, four BJP corporators had joined the party.
Recently, a senior leader Mynampally Hanumanth Rao from Malkajgiri left the party and joined the Congress. It will be interesting to see how the ruling party minimizes the damage. In the Uppal constituency, the party has changed the candidate B.subhash Reddy, and given the ticket to B.Lakshma Reddy. similarly, in Kharatabad, party corporator P. Vijaya Reddy also resigned and joined Congress, she is likely to be given the ticket. the party leaders believe there will be some impact of leaders leaving.
Another worrying factor will be to overcome the anti-incumbency. In many constituencies, the party candidates have won for the second time, some are facing anti-incumbency with different factors. Along with this, infighting among leaders will be detrimental to the party. There has been resentment among aspirants over the candidates announced. Conflicts between MLAs and senior leaders are a worrying factor in constituencies like Amberpet, Maheswaram, LB Nagar, Jubilee Hills, and Patancheru among others. Observers say many leaders had won with a party wave in 2018. There was no opposition to the BRS during the previous election. This time Congress is gaining strength. The BJP, with its corporators, also looks like a force to reckon with, opined a political analyst. (Hydnow)
