TELANGANA LOK SABHA ELECTION RESULT 2024 LATEST UPDATES:

• As per early updates, BJP is leading in 4 seats, while INC leads in 1 and BRS is trailing. 

According to Axis My India-India Today, BJP is predicted to win 11-12 seats of the 17 seats, with Congress picking 4-6 seats, BRS reduced to 0-1 seats and AIMIM picking 0-1 seat. BJP is expected to enjoy a whopping 43 per cent vote share, while Congress would enjoy 39 per cent, BRS 13 per cent, and ‘others’ including AIMIM 3 per cent. 

BJP’s impressive rise from 19.65 per cent in 2019 to 43 per cent, mostly comes at the cost of BRS whose vote share plummeted from 41.71 per cent. Congress too has been marginalised in the process. Poll pundits have called it a ‘tsunami’ for BJP in Telangana. In the 2019 polls, the BRS won nine seats, BJP won four, Congress three and AIMIM one.

It must be mentioned here that Congress recently won the assembly elections in Telangana.

Some of the key candidates from the elections are Union Minister G Kishan Reddy, MP Bandi Sanjay, MP D Arvind, former union minister Balram Naik, BRS former IPS officer R S Praveen Kumar and AIMIM party chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
