No Second Chance For 27 Assembly Segments

It is not uncommon for political leaders to switch parties and wear different party symbols in each election. However, there are constituencies in the state where voters consistently give a different verdict in every election. In these 27 constituencies, the winning party changes with each election, signaling a distinctive pattern of voter behavior.

Interestingly, some of these constituencies not only witness a change in the party symbol but also consistently have the same winning candidate across different elections. It’s worth noting that Khammam district has a notable presence among these constituencies, with four of them located in the district.

In 2009, Congress won from Ashwaraopet in that district, YSRCP in 2014 and TDP candidate in 2018. In Vaira, CPI candidate Chandravathi won first, then Madanlal from YSRCP, and Ramulunaik, an independent candidate, won in 2018.

Meanwhile, candidates of CPM in 2004, TDP (Thummala) in 2009 and Congress (Puvvada) in 2014 won from Khammam. In 2018, that position was taken by BRS (Puvwada). In Kothagudem, CPI won in 2009, BRS in 2014 and Congress in 2018.
