In Telangana, the ruling Congress party faced a major setback as BJP-backed and independent candidates secured victories in two Teacher MLC (Member of Legislative Council) constituencies. The BJP had contested all three seats, while Congress fielded a candidate only for the Graduate MLC constituency.
In the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Teacher constituency, Malka Komuraiah, supported by the BJP, secured a win. Meanwhile, in the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Teacher constituency, independent candidate Shripal Reddy Pingili emerged victorious.
The MLC elections for the two Teacher constituencies and the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Graduate constituency were held on February 27, using the ballot paper system. The vote counting for the Graduate MLC seat is still ongoing, while the Teacher MLC election results were declared late Monday evening.
