Telangana Assembly polls
Telangana Assembly polls for 119 constituency seats are scheduled to take place at the end of this year.
In the previous assembly polls, the main parties involved were the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), the Indian National Congress (INC), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Following the polls, the TRS, now known as the BRS, formed the government after securing victory in 88 out of the 119 seats, marking a significant increase in its seat share by 25.
In contrast, the INC’s seat share decreased from 21 to 19, while the AIMIM managed to win seven seats.
Despite the BJP’s efforts to form a government, they could only secure a single seat, with Raja Singh winning the Goshamahal Assembly constituency seat. The party’s seat share dropped from five to one.
