Congress led 'People front' in Telangana assembly elections

The TJS, part of the

Congress-led 'People's Front' which received a drubbing in the

Telangana assembly elections, Tuesday said his party accepted

the people's verdict.

Telangana Jana Samiti president M Kodandaram

congratulated the TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao on his party's

emphatic victory.

"We believed in certain values and programmes and

wanted to work together for their implementation. But then,

in the elections, we could not get necessary support, and we

accept the result, and congratulate TRS for its victory,"

Kodandaram told PTI.

However, the TJS would continue to work for values for

which it is committed, the kind of agenda that it prepared,

and would continue to work for their implementation, he said.

"And we hope the new government would adhere to the

constitutional values and nurture democracy in the State, and

ensure equitable opportunity for all sections of the society,"

Kodandaram said.

The party would study on what went wrong for the

opposition alliance in which the TDP and CPI were also a part,

he said

He said "undue delay" in finalising the seat-sharing

deal among the alliance partners caused a little harm to the

grouping's electoral prospects but that "limitation" was

overcome to a considerable extent through concerted

campaigning.
