In fact, the Congress Party has won one sarpanch seat. Yes. In the first phase of the local body polls in Andhra Pradesh, where elections were held for 3249 sarpanch posts, the Congress Party has won one seat. This is the first victory since 2014. In Chilkuru village of Ibrahimpatnam mandal of Mylavaram assembly constituency, Congress candidate Gondi Suresh has won in a three-cornered contest. The YSRCP came second and the TDP third.
