Telangana’s 2.8 crore voters cast their ballot on Friday December 7 in the advanced assembly elections, where the TRS government is trying to retain power against a Congress-led four-party alliance, with the BJP seeking to make it a triangular contest.
The final results are scheduled for December 11.
In Telangana, the major political parties contesting the elections in the southern state are KCR’s Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Congress, Telangana Jana Samithi, Communist Party of India, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and BJP.
| Alliance | India Today/ Axis | Republic/C-Voter | Times Now/CNX |
| Congress + | 21-33 | 53 | 37 |
| TRS | 79-91 | 54 | 66 |
| Others | 5-10 | 12 | 16 |
The youngest state of India was supposed to have its second assembly election in May 2019. But caretaker CM K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) dissolved the assembly in September 2018 and convinced the Election Commission to hold the election in Telangana along with four other states in December 2018.
