A big change in the election results is how well Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) did when he ran for office in two areas. In Kamareddy, KCR is losing to his main rival, Revanth Reddy from Congress, by more than 3,000 votes. But the current chief minister is winning in his original area, Gajwel.

Many surveys said that Congress could potentially stop KCR from staying in power. If no party has enough votes to win an election, the Congress party is making plans to protect its members and stop other parties from convincing them to join their side. This happened before, when KCR’s party convinced members of other parties to join them so they could win. As we learn more, Telangana might be on the verge of a big political change.
