Andhra Pradesh local body polls: TDP-led NDA wrests 12 of 13 Mayor posts; Anantapur only solace for YSRCP

In North Andhra, polling is scheduled in Visakhapatnam district’s Anandapuram, Bheemunipatnam, Padmanabham and Pendurthi mandals for four ZPTC seats and 53 MPTC seats, with elaborate arrangements in place.
