Legislative assembly elections were held in Telangana on 30 November 2023 to elect all 119 members of Telangana Legislative Assembly for its third term. The votes were counted and the results were declared on 3 December 2023.
The Indian National Congress (INC) along with its ally Communist Party of India (CPI) won a clear majority with 65 seats against the incumbent Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)'s 39 seats. With a record of 64 seats for INC for the first time in Telangana, it strengthened its position in southern India following its recent success in Karnataka.[1] The BRS and then-CM K. Chandrashekar Rao suffered a major blow in the elections by securing only 39 seats after being in power for two terms.[2]

Telangana PCC president Revanth Reddy was widely credited with the success of his party in the polls.[55] Congress state in-charge Masoor Khan stated that Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra worked in favour in the Congress in Telangana.[56] The Congress' landslide victory in neighbouring Karnataka a few months earlier was also emphasised as a major boost for the Congress in the state.[57] Congress party poll strategist Sunil Kanugolu was also highlighted in the media for his efforts.[58]
According to an analysis in The Hindu, strong anti-incumbency generated by the failure to fill government jobs, arrogant attitude of the leader, gaping holes in the coverage of cash transfer schemes, voter fatigue and corruption, land grabbing charges faced by 30 to 40 BRS MLAs, and Chandrasekhar Rao's “bold” and early decision of fielding most of the BRS MLAs including those with a dubious track record helped the Congress in achieving success.[59]
Results by region
Out of the total of 25 seats in the Greater Hyderabad region, BRS won 16. It was followed by AIMIM with 7. Congress and BJP secured one seat each. The Congress's victory was on account of its performance in north and south Telangana. The BJP bagged 7 seats out of its total seats of 8 in north Telangana.[60]
