The Congress-TRS combine made a near sweep in Telengana region with only a few TDP top weights weathering the storm.
The Congress-led alliance returns to power in Hyderabad after a gap of nearly a decade. And it is doing so in style. It has decimated the TDP-BJP alliance in all the three major regions of the state, Rayalseema, Telengana and coastal Andhra Pradesh.
The Congress-TRS combine made a near sweep in Telengana region with only a few TDP top weights like T Devender Goud (Medchal) and Uma Madhav Reddy (Bhongir) weathering the storm.
In north coastal Andhra, considered to be a bastion of TDP, Congress made deep dents in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam.
