HYDERABAD:
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) has suffered a body blow in the Panchayat elections as its tally has come down from 85 to 25 ZPTCs and 1,043 to 374 MPTCs since the last polls in 2001.
The party caught the imagination of people by making an impressive debut in the last polls within months of its launch when its president, K. Chandrasekhar Rao undertook a whirlwind tour of all Telangana districts by helicopter to campaign in the polls. The party contested the elections independently.
It won as many as 22 ZPTCs in Karimnagar and 19 in Nizamabad to wrest the chairmanship of both Zilla Parishads.
With 1,043 MPTCs, the party also bagged the presidentship of 84 Mandal Parishads.
The latest results, however, painted a grim picture of the performance by TRS as it could garner only six ZPTCs in Karimnagar and four in Nizamabad.
It won five seats in Medak where it had won 14 last time.The TRS is in a position to tilt the scales in favour of the Congress in only one district.
