Congress unseats KCR from power in Telangana
The Congress led by Revanth Reddy in the state defeated the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, that was ruling the state since its creation in 2014. The party led by K Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) had 101 members in the outgoing assembly, 13 more than the seats won in the 2018 election.
In the just concluded election, the BRS (earlier Telangana Rashtra Samithi) has won 39 seats in the 119-member assembly. KCR contested from two seats, Gajwel and Kamareddy. He won Gajwel by over 45,000 votes. However, the BRS chief lost to Katipali Venkata Ramana Reddy of the BJP, who also defeated Telangana Congress chief Revanth Reddy, to win Kamareddy constituency.
The victory in Telangana is Congress's second in south India after it won Karnataka in May this year. It is a consolation win for the saffron party which lost to the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Hindi speaking states of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
