Second in the race was Congress which achieved 19 seats, followed by Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) which won seven seats and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which could manage to retain only one seat.

Prime Minister took to Twitter to congratulate Rao. He wrote, “Congratulations to KCR Garu on taking oath as the CM of Telangana. Best wishes for his tenure ahead.”
