Hyderabad, July 20: In addition to the yatras, the byelections to the 12 Assembly constituencies in Telangana region scheduled to be held on July 27, has also risen the political temperature in the state. The bypolls to 12 seats are a challenge for all three major parties in the region Congress, TDP and TRS in their own way.
TRS held 10 of the 12 constituencies and it should retain all of them to establish itself as the most dominant political force in Telangana.
Victory even in a single seat would be a bonus for the TDP and Congress but it is not going to be a cakewalk as the sentiment in favour of separate state may benefit the TRS. The bypolls to the 12 seats are necessitated as the sitting MLAs 10 from TRS and one each from TDP and BJP had quit their posts in support of the separate Telangana demand.The TDP MLA, who had quit, has since joined the TRS.
