TELANGANA ELECTION RESULTS 2018 - TRS PARTY LEADS THE RACE

Telangana is India's most recent and youngest state and is currently gearing up to form its next government. The State is witnessing its first-ever Assembly elections after it was formed.

Days after Telangana citizens cast their votes on December 7, 2018, the vote count finally commenced on Tuesday. The race is between the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party and the People's Front led by the Congress, consisting of Telugu Desam Party (TDP), Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) and Communist Party of India (CPI).
