We have already reported that Telangana ruling TRS has scored a thumping win in the GHMC polls 2016 but it is not the smartest party.
The final tally of the GHMC elections is declared:
Total seats 150
Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) 99
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) 44
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) 4
Telugu Desam Party (TDP) 1
Congress 2
YSRCP ????
By winning 99 seats out of 150, TRS emerged as a formidable force. MIM stood in the second place with 44 seats, whereas the TDP-BJP alliance and Congress won just 5 and 2 seats respectively, a shameful defeat we can say.
Looking at the shameful defeat of TDP and Congress, many opine that YSRCP took the smartest decision by not contesting in the GHMC polls. The might of TRS and MIM and the additional competition from TDP-BJP and Congress would have handed a terrible defeat for YSRCP if contested.
Hence YRCP took the smartest decision in Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation polls by not contesting.
