TRS has bagged six constituencies whose results were announced on Friday. The BJP retained the lone seat of Nizamabad it contested. The by-polls were necessitated as the sitting MLAs -10 from TRS and one each from TDP and BJP- had quit their post in support of separate Telangana demand. The TDP MLA has subsequently joined TRS and won from Vemulawada in the current polls.
