YSR Congress party candidate from Pulivendula Y S Vijayamma has broken her husband late chief minister Y S Rajaskekhara Reddy’s record in winning the assembly seat in the by-elections.
Vijayamma got a majority of over 85,000 votes over her nearest rival and her own brother-in-law Y S Vivekananda Reddy at the end of counting. It is only a formality that her election is declared anytime.
Viveka got just around 24,000 votes and managed to retain his deposit. On the other hand, Telugu Desam Party candidate Ravindranath Reddy alias B Tech Ravi lost his deposit by polling just around 11,000 votes.
In the 2009 elections, YSR could get around 55,000 votes majority. And now with Vijayamma breaking his record, it will be the highest majority so far in Pulivendula.
