In a further setback to the BRS, the opposition party has lost about 15 municipal chairperson posts and around half a dozen posts of municipal vice-chairperson to ruling Congress due to no-confidence motions moved against them and resignations since …
The number of no-confidence motions is seen as unprecedented and the Congress bagging the posts of chiefs of Urban Local Bodies is expected to strengthen the party in urban areas.
The BRS (then TRS) swept the municipal elections held in the state in 2020, winning 107 out of 120 municipalities.
BRS suffered a major setback in the state capital when Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Mayor Vijaya Laxmi R Gadwal and her deputy Mothe Srilatha Shoban Reddy had quit BRS and joined Congress about two months ago.
