The counting of votes for the Assembly elections 2023 in Telangana took place today on Sunday. Initial trends of vote counting showed that Congress had won a landslide victory. Congress has won a majority with 64 seats. BRS stood second with 39 seats. BJP has won 8 seats. MIM has won 7 seats. CPI has won 1 seat.
in a stunning upset, the Congress party has emerged victorious in the Telangana Assembly Elections 2023, securing a landslide victory with 64 seats. The incumbent Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), led by Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), suffered a crushing defeat, managing to win only 39 seats.
The Congress’ resounding victory is attributed to several factors, including its strong campaign, its focus on addressing people’s issues, and its effective criticism of the BRS government’s policies. BRS’s failure to address public concerns, its involvement in corruption scandals, and its alleged promotion of communalism also contributed to its downfall.
Telangana’s new Chief Minister Randeep Surjewala said that former Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’ strengthened the party in the state. He said that the party will also fulfil the ‘six guarantees’ given by Congress and other promises made by Rahul Gandhi and other prominent leaders of the party.
Following the Congress’ triumph, KCR conceded defeat and resigned as Chief Minister. The Congress’ new Chief Minister, Randeep Surjewala, has expressed gratitude to the people of Telangana and pledged to fulfil the party’s promises, including the ‘six guarantees’ outlined in its manifesto.
Surjewala has also sought cooperation from the BRS to provide good governance to the state. The Congress’ victory marks a significant turning point in Telangana politics, indicating a renewed desire among the people for a change of leadership.
