Panchayat War: Why KCR Lost Heavily?

Update: 2013-07-24 15:48 GMT
The ongoing first phase of local body polls has given big shocks to Telangana Rashtra Samithi in Telangana region. One would not have anticipated such a massive failure of TRS, that is backed by T-sentiment a lot.

Except in Medak and Warangal, K Chandrasekhar Rao’s TRS failed to show its strength as candidates backed by other parties have topped the charts. It is really surprising that KCR haven’t succeeded in making TRS-backed contestants win even in his own Mahabubnagar district, where Congress won 165 and TRS got just 11 places. Both in Medak and Warangal, Congress is standing very next to TRS, lowering KCR from huge majority of seats. Also, the results of Karimnagar, Nizamabad and Nalgonda might have stunned TRS supporters, as Congress led the show at all these places. Rangareddy and Adilabad districts’ voters have favoured TDP at most places, while Congress stood in immediate second. It looks like the recent happening in Delhi about the issue of T, are showing their effect on Local Body Polls.

On the flip side, TRS party leader Vinod felt that elections are no big deal to them, as their party’s main target is to achieve Telangana. In that case, why TRS and KCR are rushing to contest in elections?
