Dubbaka nailbiter may have changed Telangana politics

Deccan Chronicle  

Away from the scrutinising glare of most of the national media, which was riveted on the electoral verdict of Bihar, the results of a bypoll in Dubbaka Assembly constituency in Telangana unfolded like a last-over thriller of an IPL match. Rama Rao, opted for the BJP’s Madhavaneni Raghunandan Rao over TRS candidate Solipeta Sujatha, widow of Solipeta Ramalinga Reddy, whose death a few months ago necessitated the bypoll by a margin of 1,079 votes. The 23 rounds of counting saw a see-saw battle, with the BJP leading in all but one of the first 12 rounds, the TRS pulling back the lead between rounds 13 and 19, and taking a slim lead, with the BJP bouncing back in the last four to bag 62,772 votes against the TRS, which bagged 61,302 votes. Rama Rao made his political debut in the early 1980s founding the Telugu Desam, ending the Congress monopoly over power in the Telugu region, no party or leader has won a third consecutive term, which TRS would attempt in the next Assembly elections. With the MIM being an ally of the TRS, the BJP has fodder aplenty to explain grievances nursed, real or imagined, and pin it on the doorstep of CM Chandrashekar Rao’s appeasement politics.
