Congress today won 64 assembly seats in Telangana and ended the nearly 10-year-old rule of the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) government.
Congress state unit chief Revanth Reddy and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar met the governor in the evening to stake claim to form the government in the state.
The BRS, which has 101 members in the outgoing Assembly, got 39 seats, while the BJP secured eight seats. The AIMIM won seven seats and CPI one.
In the outgoing Telangana assembly, which has a total strength of 119, the BRS has 101 members, while Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM has 7, Congress 5, and BJP 3.
Here are the highlights of Telangana Results 2023:
Congress won 64 out of Telangana's 119 seats with party's state unit chief Revanth Reddy and Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar meeting the governor to stake claim to form the government in the state.
Meet Ramana Reddy, Who Beat Both A Chief Minister And Chief Minister ProbableFor the BJP, Sunday's highlights may be that it has won in three states and lost in Telangana - albeit with more seats than it managed to secure in 2018 - but one achiever who has probably not got the attention he deserves is KV Kamana Reddy.
KCR submits his resignation to the Governor after Congress stuns the ruling party and secures big Telangana win. The Congress was leading in 65 seats whereas the KCR's party was ahead in 39 seats. The majority mark is 60.
Telangana's top cop has been suspended for meeting Telangana Congress chief Revanth Reddy today while votes for the assembly polls were being counted, sources in the election commission said. Telangana Director General of Police Anjani Kumar and two other senior police officials have been asked to submit an explanation for alleged violation of the the model code of conduct.
Revanth Reddy, Telangana Congress chief, called for co-operation in the functioning of the government as his party raced ahead of incumbent BRS. "This should be the spirit for the functioning of the government. We will make policies, but suggestion is opposition's responsibility," he said, pointing out that top BRS leader KTR has welcomed the Congress party's win in the state.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai on Sunday said that the common people's faith in PM Modi's guarantees and his development model led the BJP to head for victory in three states and increased vote percentage in Telangana.
Telangana Assembly Election: Routed In Telangana, But BJP's Sting In Tail - Defeats For Revanth Reddy, KCRThe BJP may have been routed in Telangana - it is leading in just nine of 111 seats as the Congress turns in a strong performance to defeat the ruling BRS - but it has nevertheless managed a twin shock.
