Karimnagar: In the triangular fight between Telangana Rashtra Samiti (Boinapalli Vinod Kumar), Bharatiya Janata Party (Bandi Sanjay Kumar) and Congress (Ponnam Prabhakar) in Karimnagar Lok Sabha elections, the TRS received shock with the defeat of B Vinod Kumar at the hands of BJP's Sanjay Kumar and Congress restricted to third position.
Karimnagar Lok Sabha constituency is one of the 489 that was formed during the first Lok Sabha and elections were held between October 1952 and February 1952. Karimnagar stood in the forefront during separate Telanganamovement and gave moral boost to the TRS and its chief K.Chandrashekar Rao.
On number of occasions, Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao announced about his sentimental attachment with Karimnagar and he started several new initiatives from Karimnagar as he treated it as Lakshmi gadda for him.
The TRS had won Karimnagar LS seat four times in five LS elections held since 2004. KCR had won it thrice in 2004, 2006 and in 2008 and B Vinod Kumar had won it once in 2014. Ponnam Prabhakar from Congress had also won it once in 2009.
After the bifurcation of the erstwhile Karimnagar district, Karimnagar parliament constituency was formed with seven assembly constituencies - Karimnagar,Sircilla, Huzurabad, Husnabad, Vemulawada, Choppadandi and Manakondur.
68 per cent voting was recorded in Karimnagar. Out of the total 11,39,718 votes that were polled, BJP candidate B Sanjay Kumar got 4,98,276 votes, TRS candidate B Vinod Kumar got 4,08,768 votes while Congress candidate P Prabhakar got 1,79,258 votes.
By registering a great victory over TRS senior leader and sitting MP B Vinod Kumar, Bandi Sanjay Kumar is expected to get a Central ministry in Narendra Modi's government, which also registered a record win in the LS elections.
