Pulse Today carried out a survey and said that the Congress will make a clean sweep in five municipal corporations. It said that the BJP emerged as the single largest party in Karimnagar and Nizamabad, though no party is likely to get a clear majority. The survey found that Congress will be in second spot in Karimnagar after the BJP. Interestingly, in Karimnagar, MIM will be second, the survey said.
It has to be noted that BRS is lost in the crowd due to lack of strong leadership and party coordination.
