Bye-elections are in progress today in Hyderabad, Secunderabad and a few districts of Telangana in Andhra Pradesh.
The main contestants are Congress, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
BJP is contesting in only one Assembly consitutency: Musheerabad.
Normally I would have voted for TDP, because my aim is to defeat Congress. But, most shockingly, TDP is in an alliance with Communists. I am dead against commies. Unfortunately, TDP made a very wrong decision.
I can not vote for TRS too, I dont have good opinion about it.
Finally, I voted for Lok Satta, which is a new party, founded by a much-reputed person called Jayaprakash Narayan. I dont agree with all his policies (he is pro-reservation), but I thought he is the best available person.
Moreover, these bye-elections are inconsequential, they dont make or break anything.
