Telangana Assembly Election Results 2018: TRS records landslide win; Check constituency-wise poll outcome

Telangana Assembly Election Results 2018: Chandrasekhar Rao powered his party to a remarkable victory, winning 88 seats in the 119-member Assembly.

Telangana Assembly Election Results 2018: K Chandrasekhar Rao's Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) on Tuesday steamrolled a feeble opposition challenge to win the assembly elections by a landslide, riding pro-Telangana sentiments and the success of a raft of populist schemes launched by his government. 64-year-old Rao emerged as the mascot of Telangana pride when he led the massive movement that convulsed undivided Andhra Pradesh and ended with the creation of the youngest state of the country in 2014. Rao powered his party to a remarkable victory, winning 88 seats in the 119-member Assembly, just two short of a three-fourths majority, sources in the state office of the states chief electoral officer said. While the Congress party cut a sorry figure, winning just 21 seats.

His appeal to regional sentiments appeared to have helped the TRS keep the Congress, which made huge gains in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, under check in Telangana as it had aligned with the TDP, a party Rao accused of acting against the interests of his state.
