In a high-stakes political battle, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) successfully captured the Mayor and Deputy Mayor posts of the Karimnagar Municipal Corporation on Monday.
Leveraging strategic ex-officio votes and the support of independent candidates, the saffron party managed to outnumber the Congress, despite the latter's strong push for the
seat. Kolagani Srinivas, representing the 2nd Division, was elected as the new Mayor of Karimnagar, while former Mayor Y. Sunil Rao was appointed as the Deputy Mayor.
The election officials officially declared the results following a tense session where Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar played a pivotal role.
