Congress Confident of Victory in Telangana and Southern States

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy expressed confidence that the Congress will win 10 of the 17 Lok Sabha seats in Telangana and that the INDIA bloc will form the government at the Centre. He believes the BJP will not secure more than 240 seats overall and that Rahul Gandhi will become Prime Minister.

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has declared that the Congress is set to win at least 10 out of 17 Lok Sabha seats in the state, and that the INDIA bloc is poised to form the central government. In a candid interaction with media on Saturday, Reddy countered the BJP’s claims of securing four to five seats in Telangana based on recent posts by the saffron party on 'X'.

The BJP has projected significant gains in states like West Bengal, where it hopes to double its tally from 18 to over 30 seats. In contrast, Reddy is optimistic about the Congress’s performance in the South, predicting major victories in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala, alongside the likelihood of Rahul Gandhi becoming Prime Minister.

Reddy criticized the BJP-led NDA government for neglecting Telangana over the past decade and promised that if the INDI Alliance forms the government, crucial cabinet portfolios would be allocated to the state. He touched on various issues, from the upcoming 10th-anniversary celebrations of Telangana's state formation to ongoing probes and the opposition's allegations.
