KCR gets a jolt, BJP wins Telangana council seat : South, News - India Today
RaoThe KCR-led government in Telangana received a jolt on Wednesday with the opposition BJP-TDP alliance bagging one of the two seats of the legislative council that went to polls on Sunday.
The BJP's Ramachandra Rao won the election from Hyderabad-Ranga Reddy-Mahabubnagar graduates' constituency, defeating his nearest rival Devi Prasad of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) by 13,318 vote
TRS was supposed to sweep these MLC elections & both the available seats!! But BJP has surprisingly won a seat..
I realized that it was putting up a good fight when KCR while campaigning began abusing the BJP[vote for BJP=vote for sewage/gutter something like that].
But a victory is truly unexpected !!
Congrats to our karyakartas of BJP & TDP for ensuring this victory in Telangana!!
At the same time there is talk that the opposition transferred all it's votes to the BJP candidate for hit's victory.. The Congress got 3,000 Votes where the BJP candidate won which is very surprising since I expected them to get a good number of votes from areas like Nalgonda & Mahbubnagar(which fall under this constituency) from where they won seats during the Aeembly Elections!!!

And coming to Andhra Pradesh:-
TDP, TRS lose one seat each in MLC elections | Deccan Chronicle
The TDP(like the TRS) won one seat & lost another .
The seat lost was to the Left-Backed United Teacher's Front, the Candidate lost by about a margin of.. I think 1,000-1,500 votes. I heard that the cadre weren't impressed with his candidature & didn't campaign for him.
But this is still a shock(a little one,if not a big one) as this entire region was swept by the TDP a few months back.
& CBN's far from impressed.
