Telangana Assembly Election Results 2023: Congress crosses halfway mark early leads show, BRS trails

The Congress has surged ahead in Telangana where votes are being counted today for the 119 assembly seats. According to early trends of the Telangana assembly poll results, the Congress is leading on 63 seats, three more than majority, while the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) is ahead on 25 seats.

If the trend continues, this will be the first time that India’s youngest state sees another party at the helm. The BRS has been in power since the state’s birth in 2014.  The ruling BRS was trailing behind its main challenger, the trends indicated.

Counting of votes in elections to the 119-member Telangana assembly started at 8 am on Sunday, amid tight security at counting centres in the state.
