- Don't be swayed by Exit Polls, says KTR
BRS leader KT Rama Rao has said, “Don’t be swayed by exit polls, they got it wrong in 2018 as well.” “We are coming back to power on December 3. We are coming back with 70+ seats," a confident Rao said.
How do things look like-The Congress is aiming to remain in power in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh while the BJP is looking forward to another term in Madhya Pradesh. Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), meanwhile, eyes a hattrick in Telangana. It, however, faces stiff contenders in Congress and BJP, both hoping to take over the Telangana government from Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao.
Mizoram National Front is also working hard to fend off the challenge from both the Congress and the ZORAM People's Movement. The Telangana election that took place on Thursday was the last assembly election of 2023 and the outcome of this poll will have a major impact on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections scheduled for next year. The party that wins the Telangana election will go ahead with good momentum in the national election.
As the outcome of this election is going to be a Congress vs BJP contest in at least three out of the five states, the outcome will be crucial for both the national parties. Stick to this page for live updates.
