As expected TRS swept the municipal poll. But, the most interesting part was the upsurge of BJP to the second position in municipal corporations (in terms of wards won)... Congress pushed to third position here.
In municipalities also INC&BJP were no match to TRS
BJP couldn't win as many municipalities as we expected. But, they yet performed well in some unexpected areas,while underperformed in expected areas.They won 3 municipalities&approx 235 wards(placed third after TRS and INC)
BJP could have performed more than this figure,but lack of cadre strength except the northern part of the state affected them. Yet they did well considering their assembly figure
And they expected to win one more Corporation, Karimnagar, where polling is on 25th
