US EditionBRS Performance in Municipal Polls Is Highly Encouraging: KTR
BRS secured victories in over 730 wards out of 2,582, showing strong grassroots support despite competition from Congress and BJP, KTR said.
- On February 13, 2026, K. T. Rama Rao said BRS was winning about 730 wards out of over 2,580, calling it a sign of strong support as counting remained underway.
- On February 11, the state ran local body elections with over 52 lakh voters and around 13,000 candidates, tallying votes in 2,582 wards across 116 municipalities, excluding six where terms remain unexpired.
- Across municipalities, BRS figures show victory in over 500 wards, winning 15 in one set and emerging as largest party in about 30 municipalities, while in Kothagudem corporation BRS backed CPI to secure the Mayor's post.
- High turnout over 73 per cent showed the elections were peaceful, while KTR said the ruling party's performance was a warning as it won only about 730 wards and just over half the civic bodies.
- Historically, TRS's 2020 dominance—winning 1,767 wards across 2,755 wards in 121 municipalities—highlights how Congress performance this time fell far short of the BRS mark.
