Hyderabad:
In a setback to Andhra Pradesh's ruling Congress, the Telangana
Rashtra Samithi (TRS) bagged four assembly seats while the YSR
Congress and an independent won one seat each. The Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) had a narrow lead on a seventh seat.
The by-elections to seven assembly seats, six of them in Telangana
region, were held Sunday.
The elections were caused by vacancies that arose due to the
resignations of two legislators of the Congress and four rebels of
the TDP.
In Mahabubnagar, the election was held due to the death of one
independent legislator, who was an associate member of Congress.
