AP CM YS Jagan Congratulates YSCRP's Candidate Dr M Gurumoorthy After Tirupati LS Bypoll Victory

The voters in Tirupati once again gave their verdict by backing the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP). The YSRCP candidate, Dr Maddila Gurumoorthy won the Tirupati Lok Sabha bypoll with a thumping majority after the counting procedure was completed on Sunday.    

He tasted success defeating TDP candidate Panabaka Lakshmi, a former Union Minister, by a record margin of 2,71,592 votes.

Dr Gurumoorthy secured 6,26,108 votes including 1,533 postal votes, out of the total 11,04,827 polled on April 17, while TDP's Panabaka Lakshmi got 3,54,516 votes. The  difference in votes between them was 24.57 per cent. The BJP nominee backed by the Jana Sena Party was nowhere in the reckoning, where K Ratna Prabha a retired IAS officer from the Karnataka cadre managed to get only 57,080 votes.

Gurumoorthy thanked Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and the people of Tirupati LC constituency for giving him a chance to serve them.

He further stated that he would give his best for the development of the constituency during his tenure as the MP.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy tweeted that, "After 23 months of governance, bypoll has been conducted to Tirupati and people gave a solid verdict. This success belongs to people. Congratulations to my brother Gurumoorthy."

In another tweet, he said that Gurumoorthy won by 2.71 lakh majority and it further increased the responsibility of the government. He wrote that this victory was made possible by the grace of God and people's blessing.
