YSRCP breaches Naidu’s bastion
The Hindu
The ruling party wins 19 of the 25-ward Kuppam Municipality
The ruling YSRCP has won the maiden election to the Kuppam Municipality by bagging 19 of the 25 wards in the civic body, causing severe embarrassment to TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu, who has been representing the Kuppam constituency in the Assembly since 1989.
Though municipal elections are held elsewhere in the State, the prime focus of the ruling party has been on Kuppam.
Amidst heavy police bandobust, the counting of votes began at the Government Degree College in the town on Wednesday.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said that on the lines of the farmers’ protest that compelled the Centre to withdraw farm laws, a protest would be launched with like-minded political parties and organisations representing the poor to demand repeal of the new Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) and restoration of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act (MGNREGA).
