TRS has the edge in by-polls. Likely to retain all seats.
Telangana Rashtra Samiti appears to have an edge over ruling Congress and main Opposition Telugu Desam Party in the by-elections to 12 Assembly constituencies slated for tomorrow in the Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh. Riding the crest of an unprecedented Telangana wave worked up by a cross-section of pro-Telangana activists and organisations, TRS seems raring to uproot Congress and TDP completely from the region.
Congress and TDP have only a slim chance of win in a couple of constituencies, say political analysts. Neither the Congress” development mantra, coupled with the claim that it alone could ultimately deliver statehood for the region appears to have not cut any ice with the electorate, nor the fight over Babhli issue has done any good to TDP”s electoral prospects.
TDP is desperate to prove that it has not lost ground in the Telangana region because of the ambiguity in its stand on the separate statehood issue, the analysts say.
However, Nizamabad Urban Assembly segment is attracting a lot of attention with APCC president Dharmapuri Srinivas, who tasted a bitter defeat in the 2009 general polls, desperately seeking a win over his BJP rival Y Lakshminarayana. Srinivas is using all tricks of the trade to win the by-election.
In all 435 candidates are in the fray in all the 12 segments. Counting of votes will take place on Friday, 30th.

After winning all 12 seats, we Telangana people should celebrate this as if once again we have Telangana State formation has been announced by center.
This would give us more confidence to us and Seemandhra start to loose grip on our leaders who loot us with the help of Seemandhra. These leaders take leftovers from Seemandhra looters.

After winning all 12 seats
Telangana TDP leaders would run to CBN and say we are in trouble in T.
Telangana Congress leaders would run to Soniaji and say we are in trouble in T.
Telangana PRP leftover workers would joing TRS.
Telangana CPM leaders wouldn’t know what to do.
MIM party leaders would start Telangana slogan in Hyderabad.
LokSatta JP would say I support smaller states with resposiblity, good govt blah.. blah…
D.S is retiring from politics.

should wait for 4 more days to see the real percentage of people seeking Telangana heartfully and not for the sake of name, fame and emotional satisfaction. I heard people talking about 90%-100% but unless the same reflects in the elections, its hard to be beleived. True testimony of Telangana seekers happene tommorow. I will make my comment only after the results are declared. All the best everyone.
