Watch: Exit polls predict K Chandrasekhar Rao may keep Telangana

If exit polls are anything to go by, it seems Telangana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) chief K Chandrasekhar Rao's gamble of holding early elections has paid off. The Times Now-CNX poll predicts re-election for the TRS, giving it 66 of the state's 119 seats. A party can form government with 60 seats. The Republic Jan Ki Baat too shows a KCR win, with a range of 52 to 65 seats and 38 to 52 to the Congress, which contested along with regional allies including the Telugu Desam Party led by Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The Axis My India - India Today and Aaj Takpoll puts TRS way ahead with 79-91 seats and the Congress trails at 21-33 seats in the first-ever polls in India's youngest state.
