    Telangana Election Results 2023 Highlights: Congress ousts BRS from Telangana, expands footprints in South
    Extending its winning run in the south, the Congress on Sunday won 64 Assembly seats to form government in the BRS-dominated Telangana, with the southern solace coming in the midst of a saffron sweep of the Hindi heartland where BJP wrested two states from the grand old party and retained.

    Congress had made a strong comeback in neighbouring Karnataka in May, defeating the BJP in the polls then.

    The near 10 year-old rule of the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) came to an end on Sunday, even as Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao tendered resignation from his post, which was accepted by Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan.

    BRS has been ruling the state since 2014, when Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh. The party, which has 101 members in the outgoing Assembly, emerged victorious in 39 seats.
