Congress won only two of the 18 Assembly seats where bypolls were held on June 12. YSR Congress of Kadapa MP Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy swept the polls, winning in 15 Assembly segments and also the lone Lok Sabha constituency, which went to bypoll. TRS got one Assembly seat.
One of the principal reasons attributed for the ruling party's crushing defeat in the bypolls was the lack of adequate publicity about the government-sponsored welfare schemes.
