Amaravathi March 4: The ruling party Telugu Desam today unanimously won six seats in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council from the Local Authorities constituencies here on Friday.

The TDP bagged seats from Chittoor, East and West Godavari, Anantapur, and Srikakulam districts unanimously.



A few independent candidates who filed their papers in Srikakulam, West Godavari and Anantapur districts withdrew their candidature on the last day on Friday, paving the way for the unanimous election of the TDP nominees.

Former ministers Satrucharla Vijaya Rama Raju (Srikakulam), Chikkala Ramachandra Rao (East Godavari), sitting MLC Angara Ramamohan and Mantena Satyanarayana Raju (West Godavari), B Rajanarasimhulu alias Dorababu (Chittoor) and Deepak Reddy (Anantapur) were declared elected unopposed as MLCs from the respective Local Authorities Constituencies, the Returning Officers announced.

The lone opposition YSR Congress did not field party candidates in these LACs as it did not have adequate strength.
