The BJP's Dubbaka by-poll victory caught nationwide attention. It's an usual practice that ruling political parties dominate the by-elections and the local body polls. Even then, BJP could make it victorious.
Nevertheless, BJP has shown a significant growth in GHMC arena winning 48 divisions. It must be recalled that the same political party won just 4 seats during GHMC polls, 2016.
What has played an instrumental factor behind BJP's victories in the recent past? Ante incumbency is just one of the crucial reasons. But there is yet another hidden factor which played a pivotal role behind BJP's success. It's none other than Janasena chief Power Star Pawan Kalyan's factor.
Ever since Janasena allied with the BJP, people of both the Telugu states have reckoned it has been a deadly combo and can do wonders.
On the other hand, settlers in Hyderabad have immensely been showing their unrest on the TRS and have waited until the elections to show their 'vote' power. They cannot forget how the TRS had done blackmailing politics before state division. Most importantly, Pawan Kalyan's fans are not in a position to forget the obstacles created by the TRS during 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'.
Settlers from Vanasthalipuram, Chintalkunta, Nallakunta, Chaitanyapuri and many other areas thronged to the polling booths to elect the BJP candidates due to Pawan Kalyan's factor.
To sum up, Pawan Kalyan turns the hidden factor behind the BJP's victory in the GHMC elections.
