In this episode of the Bharatvaarta podcast we analyse and discuss the significance of the recently concluded Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Polls, where the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) emerged as the single-largest party, winning 55 of the 150 wards in a closely-fought election.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) made huge gains to bag 49 wards, followed by The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) which trailed with 44 wards. The Indian National Congress finished with only 2 seats. Our guests, political commentators, Rohit Jayaraman and Sudhir Kumar, define the broader trends at play – TRS’ waning popularity, BJP’s gaining dominance, AIMIM’s polarising influence, Congress’ perennial losses, media’s flawed narratives, and the significance these hold in the Politics of Telangana and the rest of the country. This is a fascinating deep dive into an election that could be a milestone moment in Politics.
