Reflects BJP's growing stronghold
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy said the victory is significant and reflects the party's growing stronghold in the state.
Similarly, Reddy, in an X post, highlighted the BJP's success in winning two MLC seats, including one in the teachers' category.
"This triumph is a victory of our youth and teachers, who have decisively rejected Congress for its failed governance & failure to address their concerns," he said.
"Despite Congress fielding all its ministers, MLAs, MPs, and spending heavily, they could not retain the Karimnagar Graduate seat. This outcome sends a strong message to Congress, which came to power by making false promises to the people," Reddy added.
He said that with elections covering 13 districts, 43 assembly constituencies, six parliamentary segments, and 270 mandals, the victory is significant and showcases the BJP's growing stronghold in Telangana.
Reddy, in an X post, expressed his sincere gratitude to the people of Telangana, โespecially the teachers and the youth for reposing their faith in the developmental politics of BJP and the leadership of PM Narendra Modi.โ
โA special acknowledgment to our hardworking karyakartas, the backbone of our party. Their unwavering dedication continues to strengthen the BJP's presence and resolve in Telangana," Kishan Reddy added.
