Telangana PCC president Revanth Reddy was widely credited with the success of his party in the polls.[56] Congress state in-charge Masoor Khan stated that Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra worked in favour in the Congress in Telangana.[57] The Congress' landslide victory in neighbouring Karnataka a few months earlier was also emphasised as a major boost for the Congress in the state.[58] Congress party poll strategist Sunil Kanugolu was also highlighted in the media for his efforts.[59]
According to an analysis in The Hindu, strong anti-incumbency generated due to the failure to fill government jobs, the arrogant attitude of the Chief Minister, discrepancies in the cash transfer and welfare schemes, general corruption, voter fatigue, land grabbing charges faced by 30-40 BRS MLAs, and Chandrasekhar Rao's “bold” and early decision of fielding most of the BRS MLAs, including those with a dubious track record helped the Congress in winning the election.[60]
Results by region
[edit]Out of the total of 25 seats in the Greater Hyderabad region, BRS won 16, followed by AIMIM with 7. INC and BJP secured one seat each. The INC's victory was on account of its performance in north and south Telangana.
