The ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) on Monday emerged victorious in Telangana Legislative Council bypolls from Nalgonda, Warangal and Ranga Reddy Local Authorities constituencies. TRS nominees Tera Chinnapa Reddy (Nalgonda), Pochampalli Srinivas Reddy (Warangal) and P. Mahender Reddy (Ranga Reddy) defeated their Congress rivals in the bypolls held on May 31, official sources said. The victory in the Members of Legislative Council (MLC) bypolls brings cheer to the TRS which faced unexpected results in the recent Lok Sabha election. TRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao congratulated Chinnapa Reddy, Srinivas Reddy and Mahender Reddy on their triumph. He thanked the representatives of local bodies who handed a “one-sided victory” to TRS candidates, a Party release said.
