Nine-and-a-half year wait ends for Congress in Telangana

True to the passionate slogan ‘Marpu kavali, Congress ravali’ (Change should come, Congress is needed), people of Telangana took almost nine-and-a-half years to fulfil the Congress dream and bring the party to power in the keenly fought Assembly elections.

Congress party which hoped to dethrone the ruling Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) with comfortable numbers had to settle for 64 seats in the House of 119. It was expecting above 75 seats and ended disappointed that it did not cross the figure it had hoped riding on the huge anti-incumbency factor.
