AITUC leaders and workers celebrated as they stood as the recognised union. After the formation of Singareni, it is remarkable that AITUC has been recognized as an authorized association for the seventh time. The role of Singareni in the development of Telangana is unforgettable. The influence of the Singareni region is severe in about ten districts. The results of the Singareni elections were similar to those of the assembly elections. Here the BRS-affiliated association was completely routed.
