If the exit poll result is to be believed, the Congress is expected to pull off a surprise win, dethroning KCR for the first time since the state Telangana came into existence back in 2014. The Congress is projected to win anywhere between 58 to 68 seats in the 119-member Assembly while the BRS is seen falling short of the magic mark of 60. However, exit polls often go wrong. While KCR has implemented several development schemes, aimed to tackle hunger, improve education and bolstering the livelihoods of farmers, Sonia Gandhi's last-minute "I want to see the dream of the martyred sons of Mother Telangana fulfilled" appeal to the voters might have struck a chord. Kamareddy, a major constituency in North Telangana, will witness an intense fight between Chief Minister KCR and the Congress state unit chief Revanth Reddy, who is also believed to be the frontrunner for the CM position if Congress is to come to power. Asaduddin Owaisi's party AIMIM is expected to hold on to its seven seats from Hyderabad.
