TRS Appears To Be A Winning Horse In Telangana

Hyderabad: The Telangana Rashtra Samithi appears to be on winning track in Telangana as it has taken early leads in a majority of the constituencies for which trends were available.

The TRS candidates were ahead of their rivals in 48 constituencies while the other major contender for power, the Congress-led People's Front, was ahead in 21 constituencies.

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) was leading in three segments while Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was ahead in one constituency.

TRS President and Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao's daughter K. Kavitha said there was no doubt that the party would retain power with huge majority.

Kavitha, who is a member of the Lok Sabha, said there was no anti-incumbency as TRS government had done well on all fronts during last four-and-half years.

As many as 73.20 per cent of 2.80 crore voters had cast their votes in the elections held in all 119 constituencies last Friday.

The TRS had won 63 seats in 2014 while Congress had finished with 21.
