In the latest municipal elections, the All India Forward Bloc (AIFB) has scored a big win in Vaddepalli municipality, Jogulamba Gadwal district. The AIFB grabbed 8 out of 10 seats. The Congress and BRS parties won one seat each. The AIFB candidates had strong backing from Telangana Jagruthi leader K. Kavitha. She had said before the polls that her candidates would run on the AIFB platform. This was because Telangana Jagruthi has not yet started as a political party. The Gadwal constituency is current represented by Bandla Krishnamohan Reddy. He was elected on a BRS ticket but moved to the Congress. However, the Assembly Speaker ruled that Mr. Reddy remains a BRS MLA. Gadwal is also the home area of BJP MP D.K. Aruna from Mahabubnagar district, a key figure in the region.
